Description The idea is straight from the Grand Guignol, that French theatrical genre that revelled in blood-and-guts, torture, graphic horrors, beautiful maidens violated...Grand Guignol itself is the child of Jacobean tragedy, where absolute horror and savagery was presented as a valid representation of the human condition... This new play is a watered down version of the tradition... Horrortio is about the war between the prima donas for the hand of the dashing young composer, played exquisitely with shoulders and pelvis by Darryl Hukins.
