Beam Up the Clowns • a 10-minute play

by Alice Jankell

Moms and daughters…and moms.

Do the huge, floppy clown shoes we believe we wear as mothers ever come off?  Ever?  Can we reconcile how we think we’re seen with how we really are?  And can our own mothers help?  Or do they just complicate it all?
