mFEST day 3

We at m-FEST headquarters can not believe it is day 3 already. This is the first time we have had a minute to stop and give you an update. From street theatre to Tinchy Stryder via the Mad Hatter's Tea Party to it's been amazing so far but it's far from over yet.....

Controlled Falling Project, the bold and gravity defying circus from Australian company ThisSideUp have been a huge hit so far, receiving rave reviews from audiences. You can still catch them tomorrow at 4.45pm in the mainhouse.

Also wowing audiences are musical comedy sensations The Axis of Awesome. Catch their last performance of mFEST tonight in the comedy marquee.

Some fantastic theatre today, including Rent at 7.45pm in the mainhouse, which tells the story of impoverished young artist and musicians struggling to survive in New York.
