Fair Punishment
Presented by Brown’s Mart and Business Unusual
Based on the translation of the novel La petite fille qui aimait trop les allumettes by Gaëtan Soucy 1998 Éditions du Boréal
Adapted by Nicky Fearn and Gail Evans, Directed by Susie Dee
A gothic tale of intrigue, revelation, survival and hope.
Isolated on a crumbling estate, two siblings live under the control of their authoritarian Father, where they speak a language and inhabit a surreal universe of their own imagination.
When a cataclysmic event occurs, they are forced to encounter the outside world for the first time, causing their belief system to shatter and expose the startling history of their existence.
A fusion of text, full-face mask and stunning visuals, Fair Punishment features much loved Darwin performers Nicky Fearn (New Babylon) and Gail Evans (Knock-em-down Theatre) alongside Merlynn Tong (New Babylon) and Thomas Midena (The Messenger).
Why you’ll love it:
A beautiful, imaginative and masterful theatre experience
