For the closing night of this year’s festival prepare for a thrilling adventure into the dark, twisted world of Alfred Hitchcock.
Walking a thin line between hilarity and horror, Hitch! was created by a troupe of international circus and cabaret artists, veterans of NoFit State Circus and the underground live art scene of London.
The audience is terrorised and tantalised as bizarre acts delve into the extraordinary mind of ‘The Master of Suspense’.
Basically, we’re seeing off the festival with a huge, peculiar, slightly terrifying but definitely awesome circus cabaret. Hang around afterwards for a late bar, cocktail concoctions and some post-show performances to die for…
Click here to see the full programme of Postcards 2015.
Jacksons Lane summons you to a ghoulish feast of blood-curdling burlesque, macabre music, spectral circus and eerie illusion with some horrifically talented artists in this frighteningly fantastic night.
Overseen by the dark lord of comedy magic Christian Lee, expect vampires on ropes, tantalising terrors of tease, ghouls on your lap and gothic glamour all around, including the queen of erotic neo-burlesque, the sensational MisSa Blue.
The ticket includes a chiller cocktail on arrival, with a late bar and special medicinal concoctions to get your fangs into. Book early!
We encourage attendees to dress to distress.
18+ adult content and nudity
Combining high-level circus skills with pathos, humour and beauty, Jess Love creates a vision that is at once delicately touching, visually enchanting and heart-warmingly playful. Dark clowning, dirty acrobatics and surreal sideshow feats go hand-in-hand with slapstick, roller-skating, hula hoops, skipping and hopscotch acrobatics – phew! With crafted storytelling and awe inspiring images on a bed of roses and broken glass, it’s so sweet you’ll want to squeal!

Ricardo Curbelo (Harp, Cuatro, Maracas, Vocals)
“A sheer delight to see and listen to” (Arran Music Society, 2016)
Fiona Harrison, (Classical Guitar)
“… a musician of great sensitivity both to her instrument and the mood of the music … gifted with a superbly confident technique.” (Hampshire Chronicle)

Innovative Latin American harpist, composer and poet, Ricardo Curbelo, combines traditional music from a variety of Latin American countries, together with his own, spellbinding compositions. Vibrant, energetic and jazzy pieces contrast with more classical, enchanting melodies and tender vocals. He is delighted to share this concert with wonderful classical guitarist, Fiona Harrison, who will also present a fascinating and varied programme of music, crossing cultures and centuries from Renaissance England through to contemporary Japan.
