The Little Beasts, The Other Palace
This dark and imaginatively comic musical follows a selfish little girl who runs away from home and discovers a magical menagerie filled with animals that used to be children before their naughtiness brought them to untimely ends. When the menagerie’s menacing proprietor tasks her with choosing one animal to set free, she must decide which one, if any, has learned its lesson. But things are not what they seem, and is any child truly naughty?
A work in progress this will give not only the opportunity to see a new musical develop but to offer any feedback on what you have seen.
