Details

An adult-friendly performance that explores our inter-generational connection with nursery rhymes and asks what - and who - made us remember them in the first place. Plagues and passion, beheadings and babies that fall from trees, the origin of these rhymes does not always lie in the entertainment of the young, yet they appease our children, who sleep in blissful ignorance of the torture and politics, witches and murdered religious leaders that lie beneath their bedtime tales. It really is quite contrary. So join us man and woman, goose and gander, Jack and Jill for a night of childhood memories and adult interpretations. Using live strings, classical percussion and dramatic vocals, Death & Treason, Rhyme & Reason is a night of music and song exploring the dark and debauched secrets of our most familiar childhood rhymes. Ages 14+
