The Arrival at Alchemy Festival
20 – 22 April, Southbank Centre

Get a special sneak preview of The Arrival - a theatre circus show based on Oscar winner Shaun Tan's graphic novel which tells the story of a man who leaves everything behind; family, home, language, work and status.

During the Alchemy Festival, this excerpt of the show will be rehearsed in situ.
