Superstition and magic are promised as Giffords Circus brings its new show – Lucky 13 – to Marlborough Common from August 29.
The glamorous new show promises to take its audiences back in time to mysterious and foreign lands where fire, magic, puppets, illusion, dancing, hilarity, horses and Brian the goose, will star alongside world-renowned acrobats, jugglers, hand balancers, wire-walkers, magicians, tap dancers and aerial artists from all around the globe.
The troupe is joined by Hungarian aerial sensation Imre Bernath and Argentinean magician extraordinaire, Maximiliano Stia, as well as firm favourites Bibi and Bichu the jugglers, vintage hand balancers Pat and Kate, Ukrainian acrobats, the eccentric Nancy Trotter as Andromeda and the ever-popular Tweedy the clown, hot from the Cheltenham Everyman Theatre pantomime.
Musical entertainment is provided by a wild Serbian Gypsy trio and a delicate classical ensemble, who will do battle under the direction of Nick Hooper, who wrote the scores for the movies Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
Performances will take place on Thursday, August 29 (6pm), Friday 30 (5pm and 7.30pm), Saturday 31 (11am, 2.30pm, 7.30pm), Sunday, September 1 (11am, 2.30pm, 7.30pm), Monday 2 (6pm), Tuesday 3 (6pm), Thursday 5 (6pm), Friday 6 (5pm and 7.30pm), Saturday 7 (11am, 2.30pm and 7.30pm), Sunday 8 (11am, 2.30pm and 5pm) and Monday 9 (1pm).
