Description Micky Ashton of The Seven Ashtons, Risley and Tumbling Acrobats was born in Australia, November 16, 1922...Micky's last years were spent training the Flying Fruit Fly Circus of Albury, where he died in 1985...this monologue begins with Micky's irritation at the newest aspect of circus in Australia, the Chinese acrobats who coached the Fruit Flies, and who, according to him, often forgot the prime reason for acrobatics - to entertain - in their single-minded concentration on skill. This introduces Micky's iconoclastic take on life.
