Circus and theatre in new show at the Belgrade

Tamasha theatre company and Circus Space’s new stage adaptation of Shaun Tan’s The Arrival follows the story of Dele, a migrant beginning life in a strange new country. He plays a last game of football with his friends, says goodbye to his son and sets off on a voyage to a smog-filled metropolis across a vast ocean.

Carrying only a small suitcase, he embarks on a journey into the unknown, meeting others along the way who share his dream of building a home in a new city and being joined by their families.

Based on the illustrated novel by the Oscar-winning Tan, the Belgrade describes this production as “extraordinary”. It runs until Tuesday March 28. To book tickets, call 024 7655 3055 or visit www.belgrade.co.uk
