“You are not a person, Mr. Burns. You are an experience!”A Thousand Clowns is a thousand laughs. The amusingly eccentric lifestyle and dialogue of the nonconformist unemployed Murray Burns, who shouts his grievances to New York from his apartment window, makes this play truly wonderful. I was first ...
Maybe it's just me, but this is one of the saddest "comedies" ever. I'm generally in favor of eccentric uncles, but Murray seems bitter to me.
