Shaolin Monks

Shaolin Monks perform their smash-hit spectacle KUNG FU MASTERS LIVE at the Peacock Theatre in London.The Shaolin warrior monks draw on the rich traditions of Chinese legend and theatre to create a heartstopping show that highlights their extraordinary physical prowess. Indeed, much of what they do appears frankly impossible as they lift each other using only their fingers, fly through the air and move their bodies faster than the eye can follow. ..The show tells the story of the Shaolin's struggle for survival against the treachery of the emperor using a mixture of dance and martial arts that will be enjoyed by adults and older children alike - although the downside is that any 8-15 year old boy you bring will immediately insist on your paying for him to learn Kung-Fu. An absolutely fabulous evening that mixes the grace of dance, the wonder of circus and the extreme violence of a good action movie. Don't try this at home.
