‘What visions have I seen!’
Transported to the revolutionary 1980s, prepare to be dazzled by rebellious punk-rock fairies and tickled by a determined acting troupe of striking miners. Witness the melancholy lovers break free from the materialistic bubble of yuppies into the wild forest where rebellion, beauty and passion conquer all. The stage is set for love spells, squabbles and transformations, all under the mischievous eye of Robin Goodfellow. This ensemble-driven company will present the madcap escapades of the lovers, fairies and mechanicals in a chaotic world of folly and power struggle. It will be a dynamic, playful performance enriched with desire, mischief, nostalgia, music and enchantment.
