Creating a First Show: Jo Tomalin talks to Jess Clough-MacRae and Jonathan Tilley about Sir David and His Animals

Having formed their company Clownfish just over a year ago they have created their first show for the Edinburgh Fringe. Jo Tomalin talks to actors and directors Jess Clough-MacRae and Jonathan Tilley about their company and Sir david and His Animals.

The magic of David Attenborough live on stage! A blue whale swims through the ocean depths. Racer snakes pursue a young iguana across the desert. Watch as two hapless but enthusiastic clowns recreate extraordinary scenes of the natural world – a world teetering on the brink of disaster. Catch this sell-out five-star show for an epic hour of clowning, physical theatre and the largest range of animals you will ever see on stage! ‘Highly nuanced impressions and hilarious exchanges abound… the standing ovation probably says it all’ (GreatScott.media).”
