The definitive guide to Cornwall's underground culture, music, and events.

Against the stunning backdrop of Penlee Park's amphitheatre, Miracle Theatre transforms Ibsen's epic into a riotous comedy of terrors. This isn't your typical morality tale – it's a wild ride through Norse mythology where lazy dreamer Peer Gynt's quest for riches leads to encounters with cranky trolls and bizarre creatures.
Bill Scott's adaptation perfectly suits Miracle Theatre's signature style: gloriously physical, deeply surreal, and utterly human. Watch as this visual feast unfolds under Cornwall's summer sky, blending storytelling with the magic of outdoor performance.
The intimate open-air setting of Penlee Park creates the perfect atmosphere for this dreamlike journey. Pack your blankets and picnic – this is theatre as adventure, where Shakespeare meets Scandinavian folklore in typically brilliant Miracle Theatre fashion. A theatrical experience that celebrates both the absurd and profound in equal measure.
