PACK up your picnic and enjoy a theatrical feast in Dorchester's superb natural amphitheatre.

The Magnificent Three will be performed in Maumbury Rings on Thursday July 9.

Miracle Theatre will return for the show, which brings the wonder of a spaghetti western to a stage setting.

Heading west across Dead Man’s Prairie, the trail hits a watering hole called Hope Springs.

Not a lot ever happened here: mostly lonesome strangers, minding their own business, passing on through but then word got out that the railroad was coming and the town got a whole lot wilder.

Seems even most trusted folk can’t always be counted on when there’s money to be made and power to be had…

When times are bad, salvation can show up in darned unexpected shapes. No one in Hope Springs will ever forget The Magnificent Three.

Miracle Theatre is an award winning touring theatre company, based in Cornwall with a reputation for producing inventive, intelligent and enjoyable theatre productions.

Since 1979 they have been touring to the far-flung corners of the South West.

Miracle’s outdoor productions have become a ‘must do’ summer activity in Dorchester since the successes of previous shows at Maumbury Rings including The Tempest, Waiting For Godot and The Importance of Being Earnest.

People of all ages enjoy the Miracle open-air theatre experience, bringing along picnics, cushions and blankets for a special night of theatre performed under the stars.

The touring company consists of between four and seven performers and crew, travelling with full set, lights and sound.

Miracle are well used to adapting their shows to venues of all shapes and sizes, and the shows are usually suitable for audiences of all ages, from toddlers to teenagers, young adults to grandparents.

Bring a picnic and enjoy great open-air theatre. Hot chocolate, teas and cakes are available from 6:30pm.
