Reviews
"My three-year-old is in a fortunate position that he's already seen scores of shows, big and small, but I've never heard him giggle so loudly or his face light up so much in any other show than throughout A Paintbox of Clowns. As I looked around the theatre, every single child had the same happy look. Dan Bain, his trio of clowns, and the production team have certainly turned up the magic these school holidays."

"If you are someone who cannot stand the sound of children’s laughter, then you would be well advised to steer clear of the Court Theatre’s latest school holiday offering, A Paintbox of Clowns. "
