What's On

Theatre

Cirque du Soleil

The famous circus returns to Amsterdam with the new show is called Corteo, which means procession in Italian. This procession features a dream about the death and burial of a clown. The set is based on Chartres cathedral, famous for its stained-glass windows and the labyrinth on its floor. This forms a background to the colourful and weird costumes and a series of breathtaking acrobatic acts.

Grand Chapiteau, Arena, Amsterdam, March 23 to April 22.

Fawlty Towers: The Dining Experience

Ever wondered what it would be like to dine at Faulty Towers? Well now you can be served a three-course meal by Basil, his wife Sybil and the Spanish waiter Manuel. Fortunately the three impersonators causing mayhem are assisted by a couple of real waiters. It's probably most fun if you know the series featuring, as it does, references to the show like a fire drill, lots of goose-stepping and Basil placing a surreptitious bet.

Stadsschouwburg, Utrecht, March 27 to 31; Stadsgehoorzaal, Leiden, April 3 to 7 and 8 and 9 (matinees).

Mezrab Cultural Centre, Amsterdam, February 24 and 25.
