★★★★ ‘Charming reworking of the familiar fairytale with thrilling circus skills’ The Stage

A classic fairy-tale reimagined

In a lavish Palace there lives a pampered Princess who has everything her heart desires. Each day, three loyal servants attend to her every wish and whim. But one dark and stormy night, she ventures beyond her Palace walls and everything changes…

Breathtaking acrobatics, clowning, and fairy-tale adventure combine in this funny and playful remix of Hans Christian Andersen’s classic story.

A Unicorn co-production with New Vic Theatre and leading contemporary circus company Upswing.

The content and topics in this show are appropriate for everyone aged 2+. With acrobatics and lively storytelling, the atmosphere can get quite busy and loud. If you think it might be too noisy, you can ask our Front Of House staff for ear defenders and if you need a little break, you're welcome to step out and come back whenever you're ready.

You can find the Visual Story for this show here.

Family Circus Skills

Unicorn’s local Creative Families got a sneak peek at rehearsals earlier in May. Inspired by the show, families then worked with our facilitation team, and the team from Upswing, to create circus moves that everyone can do at home!
