Buffoon

Buffoon matches a multilayered script with a magnificent solo performance … [An] epic tale of love and betrayal, triumph and loss, connection and abandonment — the human story.

Globe and Mail

A marvel of solo storytelling.

NOW Magazine (NNNN)

Irani has written a clever, thickly-layered monologue in which Felix tells us his life story from the prison cell where the tale inevitably leads him … Writing in the Beckettian tradition, and in the vein of Morris Panych … Irani gives us a dark tale for our dark times with some laughs along the way and a gleam of hope that the broken can be mended and the unforgivable forgiven. Vancouver Sun

The play … begins with Felix as a hopeful child … and tracks his growing cynicism around life and love … An involving journey.

Toronto Star

An engrossing, heart wrenching tale of love lost, regained, and lost again … Bittersweet, poignant, funny and gripping … This is one play that will keep your mind — and your heart — engaged for a long time. Don’t miss it.

Entertainment Vancouver

Irani’s storytelling is a mix of fanciful wordplay … punctuated by poetic insights.

Stir

Buffoon is full of powerful moments and rich metaphor.
