This year’s show 'AVALON' is set in the colourful medieval world of pageantry and Arthurian legend, and features dazzling circus acts from across the globe in the roles of King Arthur, Queen Guinevere, Knights Sir Lancelot and Sir Gawain, Lady Morgan le Fay, The Lady of Shalott, and Merlin the Magician.
Giffords Circus appeals to both young and old, and with a cult following of rock stars and A-list celebrities; it is a magical nod to old fashioned circus with a glamorous theatrical twist.
Giffords Circus Avalon is directed by comedy genius Cal McCrystal, Director at Giffords Circus since 2012, whose immense body of work includes One Man, Two Guvnors at the National Theatre, the
Olivier Award-winning Iolanthe and Oliver nominated HMS Pinafore (both at the ENO) and Sir Ian McKellen’s recent Mother Goose (West End and UK tour).
Cal says: “Giffords Circus is so much more than a traditional circus. Our astonishing mix of thrills, skills, adventure, romance, theatrics and hilarity will change all your preconceptions of traditional circus. You will fall in love with our travelling world of acrobats, clowns, magicians, jugglers, vintage wagons, and entrancing music. To come to Giffords is to immerse yourself in another world and escape everyday life for a few blissful hours.”
So step inside the big top and into a colourful production that rivals any West End show
