Harlequinade Synopsis
When a circus is disbanded due to the war, the children are sent to live in the West country: Nick, son of the ringmaster; Andrea, the son of a clown; Sadie, the daughter of trapeze artists, who wants to be a ballerina; Serge, the son of a wire walker; and Nonie, Nick’s adopted brother. Although people in the town are nice to them, the children feel like ‘aliens in a strange land’.
Through spring and summer, the children have been using a field as a practice place to work on their circus skills. One day, at the beginning of winter, they get lost in a mist, and arrive at the front door of an old man’s house. He invites them in, and tells them the story of the Harlequinade.
