The Red Room
David Hughes and Al Seed reunite to present their critically acclaimed, award winning interpretation of Edgar Allan Poe s classic tale The Masque of the Red Death. In his opulent abbey-mansion, a prince entertains a party of debauched revellers whilst the world outside teeters on the brink of plague ridden apocalypse. But, as long as the wine flows and the musicians play what reason have they to care? Capturing the underlying themes of mortality, hedonism, madness and the end of the world, the performers weave a multitude of dance traditions - ballet, breakdancing, contemporary dance, Bharatanatyam - with high octane physical theatre to create a contemporary and visually shocking horror show for the stage. Recommended for ages 11+. Contains mild violence and death.
