Going to the theatre this December doesn’t have to mean\u00a0dreary double-entendre from a wise-cracking dame and time-honored bits of squeaky-clean cross-dressing. If you are fatigued by the cliches of panto and the chintz has lost its charm, look no further than Bedtimes Stories, opening this Friday, Dec 6th for a limited time at spectacular Dartington Hall, Devon.<\/p>\n
Bedtime stories is the award-winning, smash hit children’s theatre piece by pioneering\u00a0circus company, Upswing. Described by theatre stalwart, Lyn Gardner as a “charming show (that) celebrates the place that bedtime stories have in a happy family life and why parents also benefit from the power of dreaming”, the performance is\u00a0a hybrid of circus and storytelling, which features a hard-pressed mother, her daughter who is reluctant to go to sleep at night and the daughter\u2019s invisible friend, Three, who takes her on night-time adventures into the realm of the imagination.<\/p>\n
A combination of theatre, ariel\u00a0circus, and acrobatics, Bedtime Stories allows the audience to\u00a0snuggle down in duvets, switch off the outside world and be transported\u00a0to the\u00a0fantastical land of Nod as imagined by Upswing’s inspiring Artistic\u00a0Director, Vicki Amedume.<\/p>\n
Tickets<\/a> and dates are limited so booking essential + listen here to\u00a0Upswing’s Artistic\u00a0Director, Vicki Amedume talking about the future of circus on Monocle 24 Sunday Brunch<\/a><\/p>\n Then look no further than award-winning Bedtime Stories, opening this week at Dartington Live.
