Dorset based physical company Angel Exit Theatre, and Dorchester Arts Centre present Moonfleet, an exciting new show for everyone with a sense of adventure aged from 8 to 108.

A straggling gang of hilarious buffoons are washed up amongst the flotsam onto the wild shores of Chesil Beach, and conspire to spin this yarn of a young orphan boy clashing with both smugglers and excise men in his quest to find Blackbeard's lost treasure.

Inspired by the rugged landscape of the Dorset coastline and J Meade Falkner's classic novel Moonfleet, Angel Exit weave together live music, striking physicality, storytelling and puppets to tell a thrilling tale of smuggling, dastardly deeds and wicked escapades.
