Tartuffe moves to Bridport Arts Centre
Latest news on Millennium Green, Bridport, Thursday 2 July: due to rain and storms forecast for Thursday night, we're moving the performance of Tartuffe indoors to Bridport Arts Centre. The show will still start at 8pm, but get there early to enjoy your picnic and bottle of wine on cabaret-style tables at the venue. Book tickets now on 01308 424204.
Spotlight on Porthtowan
On Sunday 28 June at 7.30pm, Tartuffe will be playing at the amphitheatre, Mount Pleasant Eco Park, near Porthtowan. Not only is this an exciting new venue for Miracle, it's the first time that the amphitheatre has been used for a performance of this kind. Young people employed by The Princes Trust to help excavate and build the site have been specially invited to come along and see the outcome of all their hard work, which includes an imaginative use of recycled car tyres! The brand new cob oven will also be fired up, so the audience can enjoy a slice of freshly-baked pizza before the show, while enjoying panoramic views of the Cornish countryside.
Tartuffe on tour
After weeks of rehearsals at our base in Redruth, the opening performance of Tartuffe was held on 8 June in the spectacular clifftop setting of The Minack Theatre near Lands End. Audiences were treated to a healthy dose of Miracle magic, with perfromances by Miracle regulars, Ben Dyson (Tartuffe), Jason Squibb (Orgon) and Dan Richards (Damis/Loyal) and newcomers to the Miracle fold, Holly Kavanagh(Marianne), Kate Lamerton Wilde (Elmire/Valere) and Lollie Brewer (Dorine). This sumer we'll be visiting some great new venues, including Mount Pleasant Eco Park, Porthtowan, The Island in St Ives, Bude Castle and Caerleon Roman Amphitheatre. We're on the road until the end of August, so don't miss a treat, book your tickets now!
