About Lucy Aiken
Call Her The Ringmaster is a solo theatre and circus show by Lucy Aiken at Muse. An Enchantress from beyond the bounds of time shares a fable about the circus of dating in the twenty-first century. The Ringmaster attempts to corral the circus acts — running the gamut from white knights to evil sorcerers — in the quest for love. Enter the tent and be forever changed. The show runs for 60 minutes and is strictly for audiences aged 18 and over. Tickets are £10.
Why see this show?
Dating as circus ring is such an apt metaphor it is a wonder it took this long. Aiken commits fully to the fable format, giving the familiar frustrations of modern love an unexpectedly mythic frame.
