Baby Jane

Baby JaneT01340992285
A bittersweet comedy from the UK's most original experimental theatre group. Two women, stuck in a savage performance loop, impersonating, competing, self-defeating. Two men, serving the illusion. The game begins...Fuelled by the cult 1960s film, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?, four performers fight to survive a menacing re-enactment of the film's darker themes: isolation, impersonation, deception, starvation. Funny, furious, and absurd, the performance lurches from gritty realism to outrageous slapstick and visual campery fusing words, music, dance, video and an uncontrollably epic soundscape.
