Rialto Circus

1984 , Lawford (Essex)

Cat no. 845

A documentary about the difficulties facing a small travelling circus.

The small Rialto Circus is on the playing fields on School Lane, Lawford. Scenes of the sparse Saturday afternoon audience, mostly children, are intercut with the setting up of the marquee. Former Chipperfield's Circus Manager, Mr Thompson provides the voice-over, describing the difficulties he encounters: his small staff have to do all the pre-show preparation as well as perform. The circus acts include performing dogs, a llama, a clown and a juggler. Mr Thompson, himself, appears as a magician.
