In
a thrilling combination of circus and theatre, Anthony Costanzo and
Peter Fitzpatrick's Life’s A Circus
is about contemporary love and timeless betrayal. It is about truth,
dangerous decisions and points of no return. Kris directed the presentation
of Life's a Circus in November 2008 as part
of the OzMade
Musicals series for Magnormos
Musical Theatre, and then directed the mainstage production
in 2009 at Theatreworks.
Life’s
A Circus tells a story about three performers in a touring
circus show caught in a web of love, lies and deceit, but this is much
more than your conventional love-triangle. It is about how love, and
the need to find it, can enrich our lives but also, in a single moment,
can drive us to depths of despair we never thought possible. It is a
story about points of decision in individual lives, and points of no
return in relationships.
"Compact, super-charged and tightly-packaged direction ... the privilege of being present at this rare and special performance of a piece that, with more work and development, should shed its skin to become a serious contender for that constantly elusive creation: The Australian Musical." 
"From its A-List musical theatre cast (Chelsea Plumley, Glenn Hogstrom and Cameron McDonald) to the elements and mystery of circus, all is performed flawlessly."
