Crazed Russian fairytale meets punk rock. Baba Yaga is unleashed. Prince Ivan is forced to marry a frog. And the patriarchy is challenged… Pioneering storyteller Sally Pomme Clayton and an all-girl band The Swamp Girls weld together punk songs, scratch animation and an epic fairytale about the perils of annexing the wild, and the wisdom of letting the women loose. This night of adult fairytale will be feral, noisy, and beautiful by turn.

Suitable for adults (16+)

Funny, refreshing and ballsy.Omnibus Theatre
