The Gift by Angela de Castro

Smart, proud and optimistic, Souza waits longingly, impatiently, eagerly, waiting... and waiting... For what seems an eternity he walks a tightrope between passion and despair. Will it end in laughter? Or tears?

The Gift is a show about love and loss, generosity and loneliness – a heart-warming tale in the great tradition of Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin in which music and silence merge as passion and imagination take over.

This show began as a 30-minute street show in 1990, premiered at the London International Mime Festival in 1991 and toured all over the UK. Reworked with new material almost 30 years on, this updated production is performed and directed by Angela de Castro and accompanied by the musical clown Rachel Ponsonby, with choreography by clown and commedia dell'arte expert Barry Grantham.
