About this event

Riddlestick Theatre, with a 'darkly comic blend of occult intrigue and live music'.

Lizard Point, 1917. While the war grinds on in France, the mysterious Crow and his company of runaways spend their days in a fever of conjured dreams. In their refuge amongst the cliffs, hidden away from the prying eyes of the police, the troupe rejoice in strange rituals and tales of long-lost loves.

But the tides are turning. Crow has taken to watching the sea. The voices of the dead are getting louder. And when a soldier from the front line washes up on the rocks nearby, the truth about Crow, and Lizard Point, threatens to drown them all.

A brand-new show from acclaimed folk theatre company Riddlestick Theatre, conjuring a darkly comic blend of occult intrigue and enchanting live music.

Reviews for previous productions:

“Their energy is boundless, the script fiercely intelligent and the original live music bound to stay dancing through your head” The Guardian on The Cabinet of Madame Fanny Du Thé (The Guardian’s Best Shows at the Edinburgh Festival 2018).

“This is creative, imaginative theatre at its very best”
Bristol 24/7 on The Cabinet of Madame Fanny Du Thé

★★★★ “The troupe are expert storytellers” Epigram Arts on Undercover Christmas Club

★★★★ “We are drawn into feeling very much a part of an eccentric, bucolic world in which fable and fantasy float together in some altered reality… Riddlestick will blow away any cobwebs you have in your head” StageTalk Magazine on Barleycorn
