A GLIMPSE into the inner life of a clown will be the theme of a new show at East Oxford’s Pegasus Theatre.

Chris Michael, of Oxford’s MOMO Theatre, will don the white make-up for his yet-to-be-titled show.

Working on the tagline “he’s more afraid of you than you are of him”, Mr Michael promises a show with a difference.

He said: “I’ve done Laurel and Hardy-style acting for about 12 years and this will be quite different.

“It’s very rare that anyone does a white-face clown show and it will have a real narrative to it.

“It’s in its early stages but will take inspiration from work like Frankenstein and The Elephant Man.”
