Description Come look at the freaks...
During the tumultuous and trying times of the 1930s depression, the Sideshow - a bizarre collection of anomalous 'freaks' - was a comforting reminder to 'ordinary' people that life could be worse. Penned by Bill Russell and Henry Krieger, Sideshow invites you into the lives of Daisy and Violet Hilton, conjoined twins raised by the traveling company of sideshow freaks and their cruel impresario. Join them as they struggle to come to terms with their confused identities, while experiencing the triumphs and pitfalls of fame and love.
