MY KINGDOM FOR A JOKE explores entertainment and performance in ironic times. Ariel Efraim Ashbel and friends seek sincere joy and humour as acts of community, echoing Richard III’s desperate cry for a horse with their call for a joke to redeem the stage. Through improvisation, clowning, and stand-up, Thelma Buabeng, Jessica Gadani, Colin Hacklander, and Tatiana Saphir reveal vulnerability and contradiction, showing that by taking jokes seriously, people might truly see each other and share a bit of reality.
