Circus extravaganza

The world-class performers of Circus 1903 are limbering up to return to London’s Southbank Centre for three weeks this season (from 16 December). The extraordinary show evokes the glamour and drama of the golden age of the circus with awe-inspiring performances by strongmen, contortionists, acrobats, musicians, knife-throwers and much more. Plus, sensational puppetry from the awardwinning team behind War Horse puts elephants back in the ring as never seen before. You won’t want to miss this, now a mainstay on the London stage over the festive period.
