the woman with the name of a colour

She is a plump brunette older than it seems. She bears always a honest and broad smile on her face, product of her many years on the profession. She is my new colleague, the woman with the name of a colour, Violeta.
Our stage manager strikes the time left before the show with a huge red nose on and a big bell in his right hand. Every day, seriously, he announces the beginning of the show, "Ladies and gentlemen we're starting in ten minutes".
The clowns look pale and gloomy without their make-ups on, sometimes it's even hard to recognize them, everything is new and different for me.
