It's circus time!

The fantastic Circus Baobab
Circus Baobab

The season begins at Easter with the only performances outside of London by the amazing Circus Baobab, all the way from Guinea, with a circus spectacular for all the family, directed by Pierrot Bidon, creator of Circus Archaos.

Circus Baobab is a theatre with a difference, the perfect treat for your kids during half term.

All the way from Guinea, via France, they perform spectacular and vibrant traditional circus arts.

You can expect human snakes, high voltage trapeze, driving African rhythms and irresistible music, along with mesmerising dance routines, wild acrobatics and amazing escapades.

Featuring 20 dancers, acrobats, musicians, and trapeze artists. This should be high octane, energetic experience for the whole family.

This is the only chance to see the show outside London and tickets are going fast so grab them while you still can!

 
Something for everyone
 
 Fierce tour at Warwick Arts Centre
The Fierce Festival with Room Service (above) and FootFace (bekow)
Theatre sees something for everyone at Warwick, with the only UK performances of the legendary Peter Brook's Le Tragédie d'Hamlet in June and a new project called This Way Up, which showcases the best of new British Theatre over four shows in April and May.

The Midlands performance festival Fierce! returns to Warwick Arts Centre with some inspiring new productions, including FootFace, Room Service, Space Invaders and Joshua Sofaer's Scavengers, a weird and wonderful 'treasure hunt' around Coventry City Centre in which the winner scoops £1,000!

 
Barrel of laughs
 
 Julian Clary
Julian Clary
On the comedy front, Warwick Arts Centre starts the season with a return visit by the outrageous Julian Clary.

Also, fresh from bringing the house down at the Royal Variety Performance Men In Coats are back at the Arts Centre with physical comedy at its finest.

June sees sharp political satire from the Mary Whitehouse Experience star turned novelist Robert Newman and a night of travel tales from fellow comedian turned writer Pete McCarthy, author of the bestselling McCarthy's Bar.

Finally, in a special summer treat for Warwick Arts Centre's youngest attenders, Noddy returns in an all-new adventure for 2003 - Noddy and the Magical Day - a delightfully entertaining show with lively songs and participation for young and old!
