Slava's Snowshow returns to Festival Hall this Christmas

Slava's Showshow is returning to the Southbank Centre for a fifth consecutive Christmas season this year.

The show, a combination of "theatrical clowning and breath-taking visual effects", will play the Royal Festival Hall from 16 December 2015 to 3 January 2016.

According to press material:

It is a show unlike anything you have ever seen before – a world of wonder, in which a bed becomes a boat, a web of cotton envelops the audience and one tiny piece of paper becomes a snowstorm that will, quite literally blow you away.

Now 22 years old, the show, which was was created and is staged by renowned clown Slava Polunin, has been performed in 120 cities in 30 countries.

Slava's Snowshow is produced at the Royal Festival Hall by Matthew Gale, Mark Goucher and Jenny King. It's recommended for children 8 years and over.
