Peer Gynt

Miracle Theatre bring their magical twist and love of laughter 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 - a journey through the dream-like world of Norse mythology, peopled with cranky characters, trolls and other bizarre creatures – a comedy of terrors!
Think, Fungus the Bogeyman meets Dr Faustus!
