| Description |
From one of Australia’s most original contemporary playwrights, Vanessa Bates, comes The Magic Hour – classic fairytales as you’ve never heard them before. Sure, the Brothers Grimm originals were hardly the sugar-coated bedtime stories we now know, but this wicked retelling is one for the grown-ups. It’s more like Little Red Riding Hood meets Trainspotting than anything Disney. The Magic Hour is a gutsy one-woman comedy told with dark humour and soulful song. Award winning performer Ursula Yovich expertly portrays a cast of marginalised female characters – the forgotten voices from your favourite fairytales, who have been updated and dropped into the gutters and alleyways of Australian life. |
