Alison Woods, executive director, said: "We’re delighted to be working with The Point to bring SABOTAGE to Eastleigh and we can’t wait to meet a new audience in this beautiful part of the country.

SABOTAGE is a joyous and extraordinary celebration of what it means to be alive – this is not just a circus, this is a world where ordinary people do extraordinary things.
