"Imaginative, daring and provocative, this is a highly charged little masterpiece." Venue Magazine
A universally acclaimed production that uses the classic Hungarian folk tale as the starting point for a fast-moving and
comic exploration of men, women and marriage.
He's a poet living in her flat. She's to marry an accountant. He launches into the story of Bluebeard, a cautionary tale once
used to teach young girls to honour and obey their husbands. She becomes more and more involved in the tale of the innocent maiden
who marries Bluebeard for his riches only to find herself unable to stay away from the small locked door with its terrible secret.
The play weaves story, music and song together as it moves beyond the bounds of the folk tale to probe the nature of love,
then and now.
