RING ROUND THE MOON is set at a glamorous society ball in 1950’s France.
Identical twins, a spoilt millionairess, a mysterious ballet dancer and a wily old Aunt are swept up in
a dazzling dance where caution and convention are thrown to the wind.
Witty, charming and madcap, this is an enchanting comedy of mistaken identity, romance, money and moonlight.
Adapted by Christopher Fry and directed by the critically acclaimed Sean Mathias, RING ROUND THE MOON will be the most fashionable theatrical event to add to your personal collection.
