Fairytales for Grown-ups: Strange Girls Beautiful Monsters (live stream)

STRANGE GIRLS. BEAUTIFUL MONSTERS
Performance storytelling by Sarah Liisa Wilkinson

A girl enters the woods clutching a skull with burning eyes
Another tumbles out of a barrel and falls in love
A third erupts into the world riding a goat
One more opens a forbidden door...

Sarah Liisa Wilkinson invites you to meet some very strange girls and some very beguiling monsters from the fairytale forest. This is a world of Baba Yagas, bloodstained dolls, spoon-wielding sisters, lovestruck trolls, and lovers who hide monstrous secrets behind their charms.

Dark, funny and enchanted – these are the stories with the iron teeth.
