Miracle Theatre presents Peer Gynt
Miracle Theatre bring their playful twist on the classic tale of Peer Gynt to the Boconnoc grounds this summer.
Young Peer is a lazy dreamer who wildly misinterprets William Shakespeare’s advice “To thine own self be true” to mean “look after number one.” Chasing pleasure, riches and reputation, Peer blunders his way through life fuelled by bravado, bad decisions and endless excuses. Surely this can only end badly…?
Loosely based on Henrik Ibsen’s epic comic poem, this famous morality tale is perfect material for Miracle Theatre’s highly visual style: physical, funny, surreal and deeply human. Expect a riotous journey through a dream-like world of Norse mythology, peopled with cranky characters, trolls and other bizarre creatures. A comedy of terrors.
