THE MAGIC HOUR

WORLD PREMIERE

Thought you knew Grimm’s fairy tales? Think again.

Once upon a time…

Hidden in the crevices, drawn from the gutters and alleyways of life, comes a startling retelling of classic fairy tales.

This deliciously wicked and dangerously funny one-woman show stars Helpmann Award winning actor and singer Ursula Yovich (Australia, Jindabyne, Waltzing The Wilarra) playing a cast of bit characters from the stories of Rapunzel, Red Riding Hood, Cinderella and more.

Please be aware that The Magic Hour features occasional strong language and adult themes.
