THE PRESS RELEASES
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 15th June 2004
FAMILY FUN DAYS at Cannizaro Park Festival
Cannizaro Park, West Side Common, Wimbledon SW19 4UE Monday12th July, Sunday 25th July & Sunday 1st August 2004 – 7.30pm
It’s family and childrens’ fun days all the way this year at the Cannizaro Park Festival. Robert J Williamson is delighted that the Cannizaro Park Festival, one of London’s major open air attractions, will be hosting not only events that all the family can enjoy, but also The Cannizaro Park Circus Weekend - a weekend (17th & 18th July 2004) of high energy acrobatics and awe-inspiring tight-rope and trapeze work as Swamp Circus, the country’s leading Cirque Troupe, comes to town, PLUS three performances (27th, 28th & 29th July 2004) only of Playbox Theatre’s fabulous new Treasure Island.
SWAMP CIRCUS remains the UK’s longest contemporary circus troupe whose corde-lise aerialists can be seen flying high in the BBC ident – Red Silks. Following their highly acclaimed production MOTO which toured extensively to 30 European venues and the UK, Swamp Circus are proud to present their new production FRAGILE, at this year’s Cannizaro Park Festival. Described by The Stage as ‘Fast. Frantic. Frenetic. Fantastic’ this is a Circus Weekend not to be missed – and for two hours during the afternoons of 17th & 18th July children (aged 6 upwards) have the opportunity to take part in a training programme of clown, mime, acrobatics, aerial movement and balance skills. The each evening at 6pm SWAMP CIRCUS presents a spectacular theatre show - a colourful, spectacular - live music from the clown band on bungies accompanies a unique ballet in the air. Swords and glow staffs clash in martial acrobatics and sparks fly as colourful explosions rock the robots and laser jugglers. Clowns appear and disappear into the giant film backdrop as the story of ultimate genetic mutation threatens the wild ones still living in the FRAGILE depths outside the mutations of the technozone. An evening guaranteed to captivate, amaze and enchant the whole family.
Playbox Theatre Company brings their brand new production of Treasure Island to Cannizaro Park Festival for three performances only on Monday 27th, Tuesday 28th and Wednesday 29th July – all 7.30pm. Based on the ever popular novel by Robert Louis Stevenson this new adaptation makes sure that you have your cutlass at the ready – there are Pirates about! The good ship Hispaniola is ready to set sail with her crew to the mythical Treasure Island and your place on deck is awaiting along with Captain Smollett, Squire Trelawny, Cabin Boy Jim Hawkins and the infamous pirate Long John Silver…it’s a voyage of danger and discovery with many a twist of fate before land fall. Pirates have never been so popular…so away me hearties and off to Treasure Island…
