FRIENDLY EVER AFTER is a lovely story of two clowns trying to find true friendship.
about the production
FRIENDLY EVER AFTER – is a touching story of two young characters trying to find true friendship. When fate unites them, they realise that cultivating a new friendship is not an easy job, particularly at this early stage of their lives. They discover together the beauty of friendship and the need to respect, help and understand one’s friend. Between the many jokes, arguments, disputes and amusing moments, they discover with the help of the young audience that friendship can be deeper and more rewarding if they simply start to act with genuine kindness, tolerance and empathy with one another.
about the artist
NOS Three is a collective of three Brazilian artists that have decided to collaborate creating new authentic work. Our interests and goals are all focused on the research of the playful, comic and black comedic. The core technique used is clowning to subvert the logic and redefine the day-by-day routine. Our projects mainly involve original shows devised by the group, but it also includes interpretations of great classical works.

This performance can be done without lighting in venues with limited technical capacity. We can also bring our own P.A system but would require a plug socket for the speaker and laptop, from which we operate the sound cues. For conventional theatre spaces a full tech rider will be presented in advance of the tour date.
