Footsbarn Theatre return to set up their Big Top at Carruan Farm, nr  Polzeath, in August this year as part of their international 2010 summer tour.

Footsbarn last returned to Cornwall 2 years ago with “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” as part of their 2008 UK tour. There will be 11 performances of “Sorry!” in the Footsbarn Big Top from 31st July to 14th August, all shows are at 7.30pm

“Sorry!”
Clowns and undertakers ~ Actors and tractors
Corpses and horses ~ Theatre and circus

Footsbarn have joined forces with Pierre Byland and Cirque Werdyn, a gypsy horse circus to bring you an evening of burlesque and anarchy with our Big Top at Carruan Farm, near Polzeath. A Show for all the family

"Sorry!" is a show that defies description, as the undertakers hold a funeral for a famous composer a family of gypsies arrive to celebrate a wedding all in the same place! Will we toast the bride or mourn the departed, the battle is on......

The solemn funeral service of a renowned classical composer is interrupted by the sudden appearance of trained animals and anarchic party goers. The same place has been hired to both honour the passing of this great musician as well as a Gypsy party.

From ill fated attempts at cohabitation to open warfare, the two sides attempt to cope with this unfortunate double booking, from Goethe, to Shakespeare, opera, performing animals and Gypsy music.

"Sorry!" is a gathering. Of turmoil. Of the two magnetic poles. Of conflict taken so far, it no longer makes sense, to the point of absurdity.

“Without Footsbarn, we may never have had Complicite, Kneehigh and Told by  an Idiot: companies which reach out across the footlights and embrace the audience” 
Lyn Gardener, The Guardian
