Show information

★★★★ - Critic's Choice
'Thrilling aerial staging... What's rare and great is the marriage of script and spectacle.
Time Out 

'Wondrously dreamlike and playful... haunting fragments of poetry combine with thrilling aerial athletics... INSPIRED.'
Independent on Sunday

A THRILLING NEW PRODUCTION DIRECT FROM ICELAND WITH MUSIC BY NICK CAVE AND WARREN ELLIS.

The universal tale of a man selling his soul to the devil has never been imagined quite like this before.

Loud, fast, explosive and acrobatic, this acclaimed production is hilarious and terrifying. Join this unforgettable journey of faith, doubt, love, desire and happiness.

Featuring an original score by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis, ranging from devilish glam-rock to soulful ballads. A truly original theatrical experience.
