Directed by Simon Harvey (Kneehigh, o-region) and written and performed by Daniel Richards (Miracle Theatre, Near-ta Theatre) and Charlotte Bister (Miracle Theatre).

With 1912-inspired design by Alan and Jude Munden, a sound track of toe-tapping Ragtime tunes and choreography by Kyla Goodey, come along and join this this multi-skilled and popular cast when they perform this classic production, in all its glory, on Cornwall’s largest stage!

FRANKENSTEIN!

A massive THANK YOU to everyone who came along and saw Frankenstein! this winter.  We had a ball!

FINAL FRANKENSTEIN! IN FALMOUTH

The ultimate monster mash up returns to Falmouth this time at the Princess Pavilion on Sunday 24 February. Box Office:  01326 211 222  & HFC

“It’s been a couple of years since we’ve performed at Princess Pavilion, so we’re really looking forward to being back there.  It is such a great space and being in Falmouth, Miracle’s ‘home turf’, always makes the performances extra special, so we hope this will make our final Frankenstein! a night to remember!!” Annie Ukleja

 Tin named as Arts Council England 2012 highlight

This time last year it was all systems go preparing Tin - our biggest project to date! Our extra special collaboration with English Touring Opera, commissioned by the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site, delved deep into the lives and loves of a Cornish mining community and has now been selected as one of Arts Council England’s (ACE) cultural highlights of 2012.

With only 12 projects highlighted (1 for each month) in what was undoubtedly a strong programme of arts and culture (Jubilee events and the Olympic and Paralympic cultural programme) Bill Scott’s production is ranked among ACE initiatives including sculptor Anthony Gormley’s collaboration with choreographer Hofesh Shechter and the flagship Cultural Olympiad project ‘Unlimited Festival’ at London's Southbank Centre which ran for the duration of the Paralympic Games.

“I'm bowled over that Miracle Theatre and English Touring Opera have received this recognition from the Arts Council – and, of course, we couldn’t have produced the project at all without their support’ says Miracle Theatre’s Artistic Director,  Bill Scott “Tin was a unique project and all two hundred people who collaborated in making it should feel extremely proud of their achievement”

FRANKENSTEIN! FEEDBACK

We love hearing what you think of our shows! Here’s a little taste of what audiences have been saying about Frankenstein!

“Had face ache when I got in from laughing and smiling so much!”

Saw “Frankenstein" tonight and it was superb. It was funny, entertaining and melancholy. So beautifully paced and truly entertaining....it really felt like you performed it for the audience.

Would just like to say I brought my 9 year old daughter to see you and we loved the performance of Frankenstein! Your theatre company never fails to impress us-hope you come back soon!

Music, lighting effects, dynamic scene changes within such a small space, witty humour, projected film sequences with live vocals in parts was an ace twist and the use of shadow puppets to take you on a journey, all of which were brilliant – Thank you!

Frankenstein! in Guardian Guide

After a sell out run over Christmas and the New Year, Miracle hit the road zig zagging across Cornwall before heading off out of county into Dorset, Devon and Somerset until February.

Miracle's dedication to rual touring was given a nod of recognition as part of the Guardian Guide last weekend:

“British theatre is all the better for small companies such as the Cornwall–based Miracle, which tours to communities that are nowhere near a major theatre venue” Lyn Gardner  

Do keep an eye on the tour dates listed on the website as there are new venues and dates added to the tour which are not included on the promotional flyer - the first of which is this week: Wednesday 9th January, Porthtowan Village Hall, 7:30pm
