THE BLOODY CHAMBER adapted by Keith Lodwick from the book by Angela Carter

1997: Herald Angel Award for Outstanding Contribution to Theatre

In brief: This is a promenade production of Angela Carter's The Bloody Chamber. A young bride journeys from innocence to corruption, bathed in the blood of her tortured husband's sexual obsession. The audience is led by torchlight deep into the dungeon of Count Bluebeard's castle. Carter's luscious and witty text is fused with sensual action and simmering live music, as the questionable delights and deviance of desire and curiousity are examined.

First performed in August 1997 at the Underground Vaults in Mary King's Close, Edinburgh. 1998 tour included performances at the London Dungeon and Belfast's Lagan Weir.
