The Foolhardy Folk Circus Presents

The Dungeon

Two hapless, unemployed, miners return to the mine to remember old times. It gives way they crash through to the ground and find themselves in a mysterious underground domain inhabited by strange people. Will they escape or will the life they discover in the dungeon just be so much better.

This years show displays all the skills you would expect from a circus Trapeze, Acrobalance, Juggling, Songs and Clowns its just put together, lets say imaginatively, the story line floats along taking the audience on a journey both inner and outer. Are they watching or are they some how a part of it all. With original music and lighting effects the whole production whisks the audience away into another land, a land that young and old alike will enjoy.
