It appeared to be an attempt to jazz the production up with contemporary references - the clown is a direct reference to Heath Ledger's Joker in the latest Batman film. I'm not sure it worked, however, and I suspect it was unnecessary. Sarah,

We were very impressed by many of the aspects, such as the unique set design. One thing that did confuse us all however was the representation of Gregory the clown, and the clown masks at the dance. Any ideas on the symbolism of this would be greatly appreciated.
