Dolce Via

A new play by Siobhán Nicholas, inspired by the films of Fellini and Charlie Chaplin: the Great Tourrinos were happy with their life on the road, performing top of the bill on the variety circuit, until one night when tragedy struck in the middle of their show. Now, years later, reunited for just one evening, these two intrepid artistes present one last turbulent performance of magic, song, fire eating, mind reading… and memory. They aim to entertain you, to mystify and amaze you.

"they [the performers] are a tour de force that sweeps the audience in their wake as they strike, flare up and blaze from one another's incandescent energy" Oxford Daily Info
