I am a descendant of 'The Amazing African Blondin', Carlos Trower. He was my g.g.grandfather and married Myra Clay and had one son-Carlos Trower. He also married again and had five more children. This was a bigamous marriage.

I noticed that a famous play by Alonso Alegria isn't part of your inventory. Written in 1969 is now regarded as the best theatrical piece by a Peruvian writer.
I will have the honor to perform this play in the role of amazing Blondin. I am very proud and wanted to share with you all.

At age7my grandfather came home saying a man had carried him on a tightrope. His mother ignored this,but next day she heard that Blondin had carried a child over the Cheddar gorge.
I don't know if the story's true, but he did become a well known acrobat.
