Mark Bruce Company Announces RETURN TO HEAVEN 2020 Tour
When it comes to multi-award winning dance theatre companies, MARK BRUCE COMPANY is in a class of its own. Winner of the Sky South Bank Arts Award for 'Dracula' and a number of Critics' Circle awards and nominations for various productions, MARK BRUCE COMPANY consistently presents work of infinite mystery and drama to increasing audiences in the UK and abroad.
The company's new production, 'RETURN TO HEAVEN', kicks off its 2020 UK tour at the Merlin Theatre in Frome (where the company has its own studios) on January 30th.
Drawing on the mythology of Ancient Egypt, two intrepid explorers - played by Dane Hurst and Eleanor Duval - set off on a journey towards a mythical land where the demons and gods they disturb unleash something within themselves...
The journey descends into a nightmare when the explorers find themselves being hounded by a freakish compound of scientists and supernatural forces who will stop at nothing in order to coerce the explorers to play their part in the resurrection of an ancient deity.
