Twisted Theatre

Nursery rhymes conjure images of innocence and appease our children, who sleep in blissful ignorance of the torture, politics, witches, murder and erotic encounters that lie beneath their bedtime tales.

Twisted Theatre present the dark and debauched secrets of our familiar childhood rhymes with original songs, strings, drinking, rhythm and silliness. Using live strings, classical percussion and dramatic vocals and storytelling songs, Death & Treason, Rhyme & Reason explores the dark and debauched secrets of our most familiar childhood rhymes.

“Songs with a great sense of theatre and stories so strong you can feel the spines sticking out of their backs.” Tom Morris, Artistic Director Bristol Old Vic
