The Hannah Variations

Overview

Settle in for a symphony in slapstick as the “ridiculously talented” (DC Metro Arts) Hannah Curry brings her “Chaplinesque charm” (Phindie) back to Philadelphia with her latest collection of silent comedy sketches. Combining classic clown routines with a modern sensibility and an observational eye, Curry clowns her way through a “celebration of classic pantomime” (All About Solo) in the proud tradition of Bill Irwin and Jacques Tati.
