The Bloody Chamber

Show details

About this event

Follow The Bride in Van Badham's thrilling adaptation of Angela Carter’s infamous short story, to her new husband’s castle by the sea, where she discovers the horrors that await her.

Presented by Kittyhawk Theatre in collaboration with the Fresh Collective's Folio Bar at the Roslyn Packer Theatre for its Sydney premiere, this splendid gothic thriller is one not to be missed!

Based on the chilling French 'Bluebeard' folktale, THE BLOODY CHAMBER is a magnificent adaptation of Angela Carter's classic short story, by award-winning playwright Van Badham.

Join The Bride (Georgia Britt) in Folio Bar, the suitably gothic lounge bar located at the Roslyn Packer Theatre, for a night of exquisitely haunting theatre. Journey through the cold halls of the castle, as Badham's protagonist delves into the depths and discovers the terrifying secrets of her new husband.

A stunning classic, and yet as relevant today as ever, this is the story of one woman's brush with love and power, desire and danger, excitement and terror.
