A 1927 production<br />
The Animals and children<br />
Took to the streets<br />
Welcome to the Bayou, a part of the city feared<br />
and loathed, wherein lies the infamous Bayou<br />
Mansions: a stinking sprawling tenement block,<br />
where curtain-twitchers and peeping-toms live side<br />
by side, and the wolf... is always at the door.<br />
When Agnes eaves and her daughter arrive late<br />
one night, does it signal hope in this hopeless<br />
place, or has the real horror only just begun?<br />
Following a sell-out run at the National last<br />
winter, the internationally acclaimed show by<br />
award-winning company 1927 returns. seamlessly<br />
synchronizing live music, performance and<br />
storytelling with stunning film and animation,<br />
The Animals and Children... is a theatrical journey<br />
of startling originality, like a giant graphic novel<br />
burst into life.<br />

‘A jawdroppingly clever and gloriously subversive<br />
