Eliza and the Wild Swans

“When it all comes apart at the seams and you’ve got nothing left but a handful of nettles and blisters, fight on dear Eliza, fight on.”

We’ve a story to tell. Come inside and drink some nettle tea to escape the troubles of the cold, windy world.

Across the northern seas is a town where it’s Winter all year round. Superstition rules and folk wear long coats of feathers and fur, in fear of deadly curses.

You’ve never met anyone like Eliza; as silent as a mouse, as determined as a lion and with the heart of a wild swan.

This winter, fly away with us on a quest for family, love and redemption in a bold adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen’s classic tale Wild Swans. As sharp as a nettle sting, as tender as a bird’s wing and as refreshing as Russia’s icy wind, Wild Princess will transport you to another universe. This new production is being created in collaboration with acclaimed company The Wardrobe Ensemble who use physical theatre, live music and inventive stagecraft to make theatre which explores, questions, and celebrates human life.

Suitable for children over eight, and with tickets from just five pounds, this is the perfect Christmas production to beat away the cold northern winds.

Tickets £12 / £8 Concessions, £5 Previews (17th - 19th December).
