World of Mirth
A week of bad weather, political protests, and the suicide of Oscar the Frogboy has left the denizens of the World of Mirth carnival fearful and fractious. Only the drunken clown in the dunk-cage is happy. His fellow carnies broke a sworn promise and he wishes them only the worst. But as he does all he can to get thrown off the lot his partner and co-owner of the clowndunk has fallen in love with the manager’s daughter and will do whatever he must to stay. What follows is a struggle between righteous hatred and sacrificial love in which fate favors neither. A black comedy that surveys the distance between who we are and who we like to think we are.
