PEER GYNT - Miracle Theatre |
|
Tickets on sale NOW - Book early - we sold out last year...... This year Miracle Theatre combine their love of laughter, magical twists and penchant for outdoor theatre to the classic story of Peer Gynt. Young Peer is a lazy dreamer, who misinterprets Shakespeare’s advice “To thine own self be true” to mean “Look after number one”! He chases after riches and pleasure and lives a life of moral failure and endless excuses. Loosely based on Ibsen’s epic comedy, this famous morality tale is perfect material for Miracle Theatre’s highly visual style – physical, funny, surreal and deeply human. Journey through the dream-like world of Norse mythology, peopled with cranky characters, trolls and other bizarre creatures – a comedy of terrors! As usual, our gates will open an hour before the show, so bring your picnics, rugs and cushions, friends, family and a sense of adventure for the magic of live performance in a beautiful setting. Hot and cold drinks will be on sale during the interval - please bring cash, thanks Tickets on sale NOW - Book early - we sold out last year...... |
