Miracle Theatre is Cornwall’s longest-established professional theatre company and one of the South West’s most distinctive voices are touring in Cornwall and the wider South West this summer. 

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.

Surely, he will come to no good?

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!

Playful, unique and entertaining – this summer show will be a real treat blending storytelling with outdoor settings. People are encouraged to bring blankets, low backed chairs, picnics, friends, family and a sense of adventure for the magic of live performance under open skies.
