'memorable, subtle and bold.' The Scotsman on Beneath You
It's a school night… your mum's at work and your dad's away. Your sister is supposed to be looking after you. Instead, she's wearing bright red lipstick and a tartan miniskirt. And you? You're tucked up in bed, with a tape cassette under the pillow, dreaming of jellyfish… or are you?
The shows are in town. Scream if you want to go faster!
Birds of Paradise return with a bittersweet comedy thriller about running away from an unholy mess and plunging into utter chaos!
Tickets are currently available from tickets@birdsofparadisetheatre.co.uk
