Emma Rice's Blue Beard

9 Apr 2024 - 20 Apr 2024 View Venues, Dates & Times

The most beguiling and disturbing of tales...

A new play written and directed by Emma Rice, a one-time artistic director of Shakespeare’s Globe theatre, Blue Beard tells the tale of a talented and tyrannous magician who meets his match in the form of his young bride... 

Described as an exploration of curiosity and consent, violence and vengeance, the show is narrated by a chorus of nuns, has been widely praised as a music-fuelled celebration of female power, and comes complete with its innovative director’s signature sleight of hand.
