Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea

Directed and written by Suzanne Andrade
Film, animation and design by Paul Barritt
Music by Lillian Henley
Costume by Esme Appleton
Performed by Suzanne Andrade, Esme Appleton and Lillian Henley

1927’s multiple-award-winning show cleverly combines live music, performance and storytelling with stunning film and animation. An ingeniously dark and strangely beautiful blend of fractured fairytales and silent film homage unfolds as 1927 takes its audience on a deliciously surreal journey through enchanting, skewed and often sinister landscapes.

Using the aesthetic of silent film, a series of comic vignettes are revealed as live performers interact seamlessly with animation and film. Hapless cats, marauding gingerbread men and cross-dressing devils all make an appearance, not to mention the sinister twins and their misfortunate guests. The show has been compared to Shockheaded Peter, David Lynch,
and Edward Gorey, with a twist of Weimar cabaret; 1927’s highly crafted world is, however, a unique one, which will pleasantly tease your senses. A delicately deadly delight.
