Set against the vibrant backdrop of New York's theater scene, 'Lives of the Circus Animals' is a poignant comedy that unveils the tumultuous lives of its characters over ten days and nights. It follows Caleb Doyle, a playwright facing the flop of his newest play, his sister Jessie, who juggles her love for theatre and her job as a personal assistant, and Henry Lewse, a celebrated British actor grappling with his own indulgences. Amidst a cluster of actors, writers, assistants, and a drama critic, their lives crisscross in a mosaic of love, ambition, and the perilous pursuit of sanity amidst the looming specters of success and failure. Award-winning author Christopher Bram infuses this narrative with humor and heart, revealing the profound madness that pervades the world of those who live for, and in the shadows of, the stage.
