parlour games
1945: An unknown man returns to his childhood home.
1927: Four children play a delightfully dark, frightfully funny game.
Edward, Constance, Oliver and Theo revel in gothic fantasy – a joyfully cruel world of castles, dungeons and (willingly) kidnapped heroines. But the violence of a real and half-forgotten war lurks beyond the torchlight... Will surrounding shadows unleash the darkness within? Born of gothic novels and silent films, Parlour Games blends acrobatics, shadow-play and beautifully inventive visuals. Funny, playful and haunting theatre from award-winning Tooth+Nail.
