Happily, ever after? Never.
You’re invited into a world where fairy tales are reimagined with profound intensity and irreverent glee. But be warned – these bedtime stories may cause nightmares…
Within the walls of an abandoned drinking house in the deep dark forest, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, and many others emerge from the thicket to share the truth behind their stories – warts and all. Consequently, surprises and never-before-told truths boil and bubble seductively to the surface…
From the company behind the award-winning stage spectacles Frankenstein, 1984 and Fantastic Mr Fox – comes this bold adaption of tales from the Brothers Grimm in a bewitching theatre experience.
Adapted by Nelle Lee, directed by Daniel Evans and costumes designed by Australian fashion icon Paul McCann – expect a lavish, loud and lucid night.
Tuck yourself in – bedtime stories will never be the same again.
Warnings: This show contains adult themes, sexual references, simulated violence and gore, infrequent coarse language, depiction of alcohol consumption, smoke effects, strobe lighting and loud sound effects/music.
