Peer Gynt – A Comedy of Terrors
Adapted and directed by Bill Scott
Summer 2026, Miracle Theatre will bring their magical twist and love of laughter to the classic story of Peer Gynt.
Young Peer is a lazy dreamer, who misinterprets Shakespeare’s advice “To thine own self be true” to mean “Look after number one”!
He chases after riches and pleasure and lives a life of moral failure and endless excuses. Surely, he will come to no good?
Loosely based on Ibsen’s epic comedy, this famous morality tale is perfect material for Miracle Theatre’s highly visual style – physical, funny, surreal and deeply human – a journey through the dream-like world of Norse mythology, peopled with cranky characters, trolls and other bizarre creatures – a comedy of terrors!
The tour blends storytelling with outdoor settings. People are encouraged to bring blankets, low backed chairs, picnics, friends, family and a sense of adventure.

Whatever the weather, the show goes on! – Check the weather forecast and bring whatever you need for a comfortable evening.
Restormel Castle offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. Perched atop a motte (a raised earthwork mound), the 13th castle provides vistas across the valley of the River Fowey.
Begin Your Evening Beautifully – Arrive early to enjoy the grounds and the views, soak in the atmosphere, and secure your preferred spot.
Bring a seat – this performance will take place on a lawn. Please bring a low-backed chair or picnic blanket to sit on, and you might want to take a cushion for extra comfort.
