Simon Painter is behind some of the world’s biggest live circus and magic shows, and his latest production will be coming to our shores this August.
Painter's other works include The Illusionists, Cirque du Soleil, Circus 1903 and the stage adaption of Now You See Me - and his new Cirque Alice show aims to live up to this standard.
The show is a reimagining of Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, brought to life by a cast of aerialists, acrobats and other circus performers.
"I've done a lot of different cirque shows and what I'm looking for - other than bringing the best of the best acts from anywhere on earth to a stage - we're looking for a motif that can hold the thing together, to give the thing a reason to exist."
