Circus theatre at the Linenhall

Ladies and gentlemen! Presenting something completely different: So and So Circus Theatre brings the dazzling circus theatre show The Hot Dots to the Linenhall Arts Centre in Castlebar on Monday November 2 at 8pm.

Frank Johnstone and Evie Steele met in 1928. This is the story of two hugely successful vaudeville performers and their spectacular fall from grace. Featuring award-winning London-based So and So's trademark acrobatic balancing and a fantastic story set against the backdrop of 1930s music hall, this show is a real one-off treat. Performed by So & So founders Kaveh Rahnama and Lauren Hendry, directed by Kristine Landon-Smith, featuring design by Sue Mayes and film by Mark Morreau, don’t miss it!

Cahoots

A spellbinding new opera for children that tells the story of the child who was to become the best known flautist of them all… the Pied Piper. Using magic, dance, narrative and an orchestra of instruments, The Musician is an original and darkly thrilling piece of musical theatre for children, inspired by classic children’s fairytales. This will take place on Monday October 19 at 8pm.

Batida

“Spaghetti makes you tall,” say the two lanky fellows. And then they cook spaghetti right there on stage! But then their neighbour, who is short and round, wants to join in the feast. A charming, heart-warming, story about irreconcilable opposites, a fun-packed mix of clowning, theatre and live music presented by Denmark’s Teatergruppen Batida. On Wednesday October 21 at 8pm.
