The Great & Secret Show This was our 1st baby, written and directed by Kevin Spence. The Great & Secret Show told the story of Sally, a young woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown. With her life crumbling around her, Sally hits the road, attempting to leave her troubles behind. She unwittingly comes under the association of a very strange and surreal traveling circus, headed by the evil Ringleader, Maximillian. The circus, somewhat similar to the Mount Olympus of Greek Mythology, is a playground to two opposing gods. Maximillian, one of four main circus characters, seduces, confuses and bullies Sally with the aid of his odd troupe. Alongside him are: The Magician, The Liontamer, The Fortune Teller. At first Sally doesn't realise it, but the four characters each hold keys to unravelling her personality. The magician coerces Sally into assisting with her magic trick of the day: The Disappearance. Unfortunately, in Sally's state, she cannot disappear. To the chagrin of the magician, instead she reappears, split into two separate bodies, each one representing the opposite of the other. With her complete being split, the two Sallys go their separate ways, trying to repair the damage. They soon realise they need to 'pair up' as it were, in order to sort out the problem. Sally 1, the naive, innocent and somewhat helpless, is seduced by Maximillian, then goes to the Fortune Teller for help. Sally 2, independent and headstrong, ends up cornered by the equally defiant Liontamer, who tells her to grab the bull by the horns, toughen up and confront Maximillian. He holds the key to their escape. Once the 2 Sallys get together, they begin to see the light. The strange clowns that have been following them around are actually spirit guides, sent to protect them through their journey. They band together to trap Maximillian, the bind him in a prison cell of his own making. At this, the battle between the two opposing gods begins. Of course, good eventually wins against evil. The 2 Sallys get their answers (which were inside of them to begin with) from the spirit guides and work the magic needed to reunite their separated bodies. Sally, again herself, sets down her new path,with a renewed confidence and vigour. The Gallery
