ABOUT THE SHOW

Welcome to the Bayou, a part of the city feared and loathed wherein lies the infamous Bayou Mansions; a sprawling stinking tenement block, where curtain-twitchers and peeping-toms live side by side, and the wolf... is always at the door.

When Agnes Eaves and her daughter arrive late one night, does it signal hope in this hopeless place, or has the real horror only just begun? 

Like a graphic novel burst into life, in the Animals and Children took to the Streets, 1927 invites audience on a theatrical journey of startling originality.
