The Jester’s Horn

A prop for a thoroughly undignified performance.  

A theatrical thought experiment

Our imagined horn belongs to a performer with an excellent sense of timing and a very forgiving audience.  

The prop and the pause

The joke begins before the sound: the ceremonious entrance, the deep breath, the promise of something magnificent.  The result is open to interpretation.
