Love in the Shadows – Soho Theatre

When I was little I loved making toy theatres from old shoe boxes!  Love in the shadows  experiments with images in the tiniest shadow theatre.

The performance explores ideas about shadows in love and shadows in fairytales – through Gothic fairytales about having and not having, longing and loosing, making mistakes, but living to tell the tale. These are stories of dark enchantment about love between: humans and animals; humans and devils; humans and stars! And wonders how love is possible between humans and humans! The narrative worlds are accompanied by tiny shadow puppet tableau creating a mysterious atmosphere.

The performance is programmed by the creative minds at the Crick Crack Club who have been promoting the art of storytelling for contemporary audiences for over twenty years, supporting new and daring work and encouraging young tellers. I hope I can put a spark into their hot hearts!
