Baba Yaga
University of Bedfordshire Theatre,
Bedford
Saturday 4th May 2013
7:30pm
The countdown is on for Twisted Reflections' debut production of the acclaimed Russian tale "Baba Yaga". For one night only, the audience will be presented with a rare opportunity to see one of Russia’s favourite folk tales adapted for the British stage…but we would not be Twisted Reflections without adding a few twists to the tale.
Baba Yaga is a gothic horror story which tells the tale of a young girl who becomes entangled in a dark mystical folk yarn of a ferocious cannibal witch who dwells in the nearby woods, in a cabin which plays host to the sleepless dead.
The play boasts an ensemble of 5 actors, all of whom are students taking BA Honours degrees in Theatre and Professional Practice and Performing Arts. The performance has been directed by skilled actor and director Sarah Hand.
The play uses physical theatre and strong imagery, underscored with atmospheric Russian folk music which will take the audience on a journey from the safety of Vassilisa’s house right into the witch’s lair. Audience members are warned the show contains scenes of an adult nature.
Tickets are available for £5 or £3 for concessions
Concessions: senior citizens, unemployed, students. Proof of eligibility is required.
