The Butchers Bride
If you thought butcher’s paper was pretty ordinary then it is time to think again!
With not a word shared (but with all the musical clichés) The Butcher’s Bride is the joining of our papered performing pair in tantalisingly tasty wedded bliss. From here their life together sometimes gets a little messy (oh Mr Hart!) but with a lot of love it ends happily ever after!
No.1 on the glamour scale, The Butchers Bride plays with food in ways that you have never imagined….edibly excessive, food feeding the mood…sweet and sour, hot and spicy, and sometimes just plain tasteless!
The Butcher’s Bride is an outrageous performance work that promises to astound, amuse and be one of the most memorable performance you will ever see!
