Love stories are as old as time, especially ones of star-crossed lovers. Lala and Sosa are some-such lovers (just like Romeo and Juliette), but that was way back when... before Sosa became a nagging adulteress and Lala a rotund simpleton. But joking aside, they deserve to be celebrated for their devotion to each other. Long, long ago, they fell in love, dreamt of each other, courted each other, and sneaked out to clandestine meetings.But unlike those other ill-fated star-crossed lovers, Lala and Sosas story has a few extra twists and turns and a happy ending!Set against the backdrop of Kikinda, and saturated in the rich cultural heritage of the Banat region with its abundance of folklore and traditional music, Lalas story is brought to life by a single red-nose clown who will tickle your heartstrings in the great tradition of Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, and Grock.Part of the International Clown and Mask Festival: With the support of the Diplomatic Representation of the Government of Flanders (Embassy of Belgium) in the UK.Written by Lee Delong & Stefan Ostoji | With Stefan Ostoji | Directed by Lee Delong

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
