Glass slippers, poisoned apples and magic lamps. The stuff of fables and legends. But over the centuries, through countless retellings, some of the important details have been forgotten.
This Christmas, Jacksons Lane invites you to gaze into the magic mirror and see the truth in this collection of tales. Did the princess really need rescuing? Was the witch all that wicked?

A Christmas Circus Fairytale is directed by associate artist and Nearly There Yet’s Kaveh Rahnama, who created the much-loved, sell-out shows, The Party and Pinocchio.
Suitable for all ages (recommended minimum age 3 years)

Daisy is doing her best to keep her chin up and her head down – but as the first anniversary of her mum’s death approaches she begins to realise grief isnʼt something she can put aside indefinitely, and whether she’s willing to admit it or not, things aren’t fine.
From the silly to the sublime to the scary to the ridiculous, Daisy wrestles (sometimes literally) with her grief – Ian, a 6-foot invisible bald guy with a lot of luggage – eventually discovering that by letting him into her world she is able to reconnect with the memory of her mother.
Combining physical comedy with striking aerial acrobatics and an original, constantly moving aerial set, the debut live show from She Said Jump draws on theatre clown, circus and puppetry to tackle the themes of grief and bereavement with a light and playful touch.
Suitable for ages 8+
How to survive in a world that seems to tip over at any moment?
Two persons, castaways, stranded on the beach of their imagination meet each other, get to know each other, get to trust each other. Together they loose and find balance, using simple, seemingly worthless objects: a wooden board, a cardboard tube, a rope, driftwood. Exploring their limits, they quest for a common equilibrium.
La fin demain is a creative piece of optimism in these strange times. A call for complicity and simplicity.
Zirkus Morsa is known for their fresh, simple and poetic approach to circus arts and stunning balances, both in a figurative context as in their amazing hand to hand technique on the rola bola.
Suitable for ages 3 – 5

After moving from Germany to London over ten years ago to live and work in a more diverse community, renowned sword swallower, circus artist and dazzling burlesque artist Livia Kojo Alour learned that life-long feelings of self-hatred and otherness are part internalised racism and part survival techniques. With a successful career under her stage name MisSa, but tiring of playing someone else full-time, Black Sheep has been long in the making, serving as a candid autobiographical work and a euphoric reclamation of Livia’s identity and ongoing fortitude.
Black Sheep is a story about a Black woman finding love and a testament of personal strength, developed through transcending the white gaze, overcoming institutional racism and leaning into radical vulnerability. Securing her place as a pivotal UK Queer Black voice while telling her story via a heady mix of physical theatre, spoken word, song and sword swallowing, Black Sheep is timely, unsettling and deeply personal.
Suitable for ages 14+
