Zog

Large in size, and keen in nature, Zog is so eager to win a golden star at Madam Dragon’s school, where dragons learn all the things that dragons need to know. Zog tries so very hard, perhaps too hard, and he bumps, burns and roars his way through years one, two and three. Luckily, the plucky Princess Pearl patches him up ready to face his biggest challenge yet…a duel with knight, Sir Gadabout the Great!The smash-hit stage adaptation from Freckle Productions (the team behind Tiddler and Other Terrific Tales and Tabby McTat) is back in 2020 and promises to be bigger, brighter and more roar-some than ever before! With brand new songs from Joe Stilgoe (The Jungle Book, The Midnight Gang) and directed by Emma Kilbey, Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s much-loved Zog is a magical production for all ages.

Super Sunday

Breath-taking stunts and dark humour at its rawest form. Super Sunday is the world-renowned international hit of pure amazement and barely controllable chaos by Finnish circus troupe Race Horse Company. The six acrobats blaze through scenes of creative insanity in what seems like an amusement park for the end of the world – including trampolines, human catapults and a wheel of death.The original music and colourful lighting design only intensifies this boneheaded roller coaster ride that laughs at death. You can’t help falling for the company's trademarks – oddly familiar sense of humour, unbelievable acrobatics, crazy approach to everything and unrelenting performers.Super Sunday premiered in 2014, following the massive success of the company’s show Petit Mal (Brighton Dome 2014). Since then Super Sunday has toured in numerous countries with more than 130 performances, including a smash-hit run at this year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Known for their uncompromising approach to contemporary circus, Race Horse Company go all in bringing their wildest dreams to Brighton Dome Concert Hall stage this festive season.
