No words. One task. Two clowns.

Rae Colquhoun-Fairweather and Will Bartolo star as two art installers with a simple mission: hang up a piece of art. But what they didn’t plan on, is an audience watching and a live musician scoring their every move. How hard can it be?

Stupid, poetic and funny.

With audience testimonies ranging from “it gave me unyielding joy for hours after” to “the most clever piece of theatre I’ve seen” to “it will make your heart grow”, Masterpiece promises a clowning experience like no other.
