I'm currently devising/rehearsing the following show...

The Red Man emerges singing songs of fairytale fantasies and bloody nightmares. Dark, dangerous and delicious, it is a frightful folktale filled with love, longing and lies.

Two slaves struggle to conceal their daughter beneath the butchers chopping block and an old woman tends to her garden of onions. A blind king’s only son forsakes the kingdom in pursuit of love; while an abandoned woman calls out for someone to save her.

Lost somewhere between vivid dreams and grim reality, can anyone find where love lives?

This warped story from Bristol-based FairGround Theatre combines live music, heart-stopping song, ragged ritual and daring physicality: an entertaining, innovative and dirty tale to drag you in and throw you about.
