The Jokers of Sarzuz

By Paul Sherman

A circus will live or die on the quality of its acts. Plagued with bad luck, Gabrazini’s Mammoth Circus is on the brink of bankruptcy. Irena, the Golden Swallow of the Trapeze, is wheelchair bound from a fall. Her father and owner of the circus, makes a wish on her mother’s ashes. He would give anything if Irena could walk again. Enter the Jokers of Sarzuz, the greatest troupe of circus acts on the planet, along with their Ringmaster, who is a very scary fellow. Be careful what you wish for. The price may be too high.

Paul Sherman

Paul Sherman has been a teacher pretty well all of his life, specialising in Chemistry and Youth Theatre, an unlikely combination, but one which has worked brilliantly. He has directed a number of successful straight plays and musicals, including ‘The Crucible’, ‘West Side Story’, ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ and ‘The Entertainer’. His writing credits include short stories and poetry for a number of UK publications. He also writes drama having had a pantomime produced at the Rutherglen Repertory Theatre near Glasgow and a play at the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh. He is a bit mystified by the success in Scotland since he comes from the other end of the country. He is married, celebrating his 40th Wedding Anniversary this year and has two daughters and a jet black cat called Gertie.
