Never meet your heroes, they say.

Tonight, Ella might stay home in her pyjamas. Or she might go out, drink free fizz and fall down the rabbit hole – into the tantalising warren of a world she’s always longed for. Ella just needs a chance, a shot, a platform and maybe tonight is the night. A party, a chance meeting, doors, choices. Ella was bored… and then suddenly she wasn’t.

But at the centre of it all is him.
You know the type.
You remember his name.
And somewhere, quietly, a red-lit chamber is filled.

Camisado Club take aim at patriarchy and power structures in a colourful, glitter-splattered cocktail of high art and low morals. Re-framed and reclaimed, this is Bluebeard.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Credits” tab_id=”1519302586847-35d2ced6-fe2d”][vc_column_text]

“Such a thought provoking show about power struggles, self doubt, flirting with self destruction and the realities of the spectacularly mundane elements of life…..I laughed a lot, I felt really uncomfortable in moments, I identified …It’s given me a lot to think about on the walk home….”

– The Culture Vulture

“a garish and glitter-soaked morality tale, a post-MeToo retelling of the classic tale, dissected by a scalpel-sharp script and reclaimed with a feminist gaze…Filled with visual inventiveness, dark but also raucously funny…One not to be missed by a young company of genuine promise.”

 – Exeunt Magazine

“It’s the sort of piece which stays with you and works away in the background in your mind long after it has finished.”
