Miracle Theatre presents Peer Gynt

Summer 2026, Miracle Theatre will bring their magical twist and love of laughter to the classic story of Peer Gynt on the West Lawn at Trelissick.

  • Booking essential

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.
