Midwinter Magic

Commissioned by The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, Midwinter Magic took place in the garden of Shakespeare’s New Place in Stratford-Upon-Avon in a sold-out run from 13 – 17 December 2017.

We delighted adults and children alike as we took audiences on a magical journey through the gardens and performed magical new dance-circus for all the family, inspired by Shakespeare’s much-loved comedy, The Tempest. A visual and physical spectacle, this was truly immersive theatrical storytelling.
