Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea (Regional)

1927 / United Kingdom

Deliciously dark and strangely beautiful, this charming theatre cabaret takes audiences on a delightfully surreal journey through enchanting, skewed and sometimes sinister landscapes.

Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea is the multiaward-winning production which cleverly combines stunning films and animation with live music, performance and storytelling. Using the aesthetic of silent film, a series of comic tales unfold in which performers interact seamlessly with multi-media to create a shadowy, but hilariously funny world.

Hapless cats, gun-toting gingerbread men and sinister twins all make an appearance in this impeccably charming creation. Winner of five awards during its premiere season, including a clean sweep of the top awards at Edinburgh Fringe,
Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea has achieved phenomenal success on tours to New York, Singapore and Australia. This wholly original and hugely enjoyable vaudevillian comedy is sure to be the talk of the Pacific Blue Festival Club.
