Description
Blue Beard: A Dark and Beguiling Tale When secrets are hidden behind a mask of charm and magic, danger can lurk beneath. This beguiling tale tells the story of Blue Beard, a magician whose mysterious powers conceal a dark and sinister truth. As his young bride discovers the shocking reality behind his enchantments, she must summon all her strength to bring an end to his tyrannical reign. Emma Rice's theatrical wonder weaves together music, wit, and tender truth to explore the complex themes of curiosity, consent, violence, and vengeance. Published in 2024, this edition coincides with Wise Children's tour, a co-production between Birmingham Rep, HOME Manchester, Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh, and York Theatre Royal.
