FIVE STARS ‘70 nigh-on perfect minutes… A huge hit beckons’ Evening Standard

Welcome to the Bayou, a part of the city feared and loathed wherein lies the infamous Bayou Mansions; a sprawling stinking tenement block, where curtain-twitchers and peeping-toms live side by side, and the wolf... is always at the door.

When Agnes Eaves and her daughter arrive late one night, does it signal hope in this hopeless place, or has the real horror only just begun?

1927 invite you to a dystopian metropolis of inner city paranoia. Seamlessly synchronizing live music, performance and storytelling with stunning films and animation this is the wickedly twisted new tale from the multiple award-winning company behind BAC’s 2008 Christmas hit Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea.

Following a successful Australian Tour in the autumn, BAC is excited to welcome back this ‘frighteningly gifted new theatre company’ The Times
