Summer 2013 Tour - Harlequin Goes to The Moon

The year is now well on its way and plans for our summer tour of 'Harlequin Goes to the Moon' are unfolding. The tour begins on Thursday 13th June in the tiny village of Dial Post in West Sussex.

Maybe surprisingly, this is the first time we have ever set a play in the historical period of commedia. But the story is haunting and it felt time to do it. It goes to the roots of the commedia dell'arte tradition, so full of slapstick, poetry, romance, buffoonery and original music.

Tickets can be purchased on-line on our tickets page. Book now to take adavantage of our special advance ticket prices!
