Slingsby's The Tragical Life Of Cheeseboy

Inside an enchanting travelling theatre tent, discover a storyteller who shares a timeless tale

Cheeseboy’s home planet has been reduced to a bubbling fondue. Where are his parents? How did he become marooned on earth? Gypsies have given him a home, of sorts, but Cheeseboy is tugged this way and that by tides of strange longings and stranger powers. Imagine Oedipus meeting Edward Scissorhands, over a dish of exotic curds. Stephen Sheehan is a gifted performer who seems to magically weave a tale out of thin air. This production complements his art with theatrical magic from ingeniously simple lights and mirrors to high-tech marvels. Set to lush original music by Quincy Grant, The Tragical Life of Cheeseboy will transport you to a fantastic world.
