Cirque Du Soleil Varekai UK Tour

Cirque Du Soleil will tour the UK in early 2017 with Varekai, an exciting spectacular which will entertain the family. Tickets for the Varekai UK Tour are now on sale. Deep within a forest, at the summit of a volcano, exists an extraordinary world – a world where something else is possible. A world called Varekai. From the sky falls a solitary young man, and the story of Varekai begins. Parachuted into the shadows of a magical forest, a kaleidoscopic world populated by fantastical creatures, this young man sets off on an adventure both absurd and extraordinary. On this day at the edge of time, in this place of all possibilities, begins an inspired incantation to life rediscovered. The word Varekai means “wherever” in the Romany language of the gypsies the universal wanderers. This production pays tribute to the nomadic soul, to the spirit and art of the circus tradition, … Read more

REVIEW: Crime and Punishment, The Scoop ✭✭

Crime and Punishment at The Scoop

Not only does he (Phil Willmott) offer free live performances to theatre virgins, to those who wouldn’t normally choose to spend their money on tickets and to those who now refuse to pay the extortionate rising ticket prices, but most importantly, for me, he tells us the stories which gather dust on our bookshelves; the ones we are all guilty of shoving to the back behind copies of Harry Potter and Bridget Jones. Overall, whether I enjoyed the musical doesn’t really matter because I was introduced to a classic that I should have appreciated by now – and a darn good one it is.
