"Silly fun! Oscar Wilde meets the Marx brothers!" Gender-bending historically inaccurate clown siblings Victor & Priscilla from Alumnae Theatre & Theatre Gargantua return in a new razzle-dazzle romp! Will our zany duo quit vaudeville to become upper-crust toffs of the Ton? Or will their fantabulosa drama mama Sophy and clever Bunbury cousins win them back into the family troupe? The well-researched script by multi-award-winning playwrights uses authentic Queer secret code from the Victorian-era to explore themes of LGBTQIA+ history, adding deeper layers to this delightful show full of song, dance, drag, witty wordplay, slapstick, and puppets by a Dora-nominated designer.

Sensory description
Number one clown comedy with Victor and Priscilla includes nineteenth century style costumes and drag costume. There is a great deal of dialogue from the four characters that is paired with physical comedy movement and slapstick.
