Barnum opens at The Watermill at Bagnor on Tuesday, July 2 and runs until Sunday, September 8.

The Watermill’s joint CEOs Claire Murray and Paul Hart said: “We’re so excited to welcome this talented company of actors, musicians and acrobats and an extraordinary creative team to The Watermill for this new production of Barnum.

We’ve been working closely with National Centre for Circus Arts to realise all the thrills and spectacle of the circus and it’s brilliant to have Oti Mabuse back with us to create breath-taking movement and dance.
