My Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to The Circus, the
Greatest Show on Earth. We have some fantastic entertainment
for you here tonight.
Discover the history of circus from its humble
origins in London’s
Waterloo to the splendour of the Christmas shows at London’s
Olympia!
Visit Mr
Philip Astley,
the founder of the modern circus. Mr Astley, the famous equestrian
has kindly offered to give you a brief history of his
Amphitheatre
for the Arts and introduce you to the circus
acts. The high point of our evening’s entertainment
is without doubt the circus performers whose daredevil
displays of bravery
will astound and amaze.
Finally, test your knowledge in our circus quiz.
Enjoy the show!
