Join Miracle Theatre in the open air at Ebbingford Manor for a theatrical treat...

Step into a world of etiquette, scandal and matchmaking, with this fresh new take on an 18th century rom-com from Cornwall?s Miracle Theatre.

Promised by her father to the dashing Doricourt from a young age, Letty has worked for years to corset up her wild heart, to ready herself for a dream marriage. But now the much longed-for day has arrived, Doricourt sees her only as a business transaction. Faced with a loveless future, Letty?s heart starts beating again? can she defy convention, shape her own destiny and be free to find love her own way?

This vibrant reimagining of Hannah Cowley?s comedy of manners, The Belle?s Stratagem, takes audiences of all ages on a journey of unexpected twists and hilarious turns, towards a destination where they might all be free.

Celebrate Miracle?s 45th Anniversary with this inspiring show that will captivate adults, families and teenagers - as much as their grandparents! See for yourself why audiences have raved about Miracle Theatre's past productions:

Everyone welcome, but as a guide Miracle recommends ages 7+, young children to be accompanied by an adult. There is nothing ?unsuitable? in this production ? lots of children have been enthralled by Miracle?s past productions, people know their child?s preferences! You decide!
