About The Terrible Infants

“Deliciously dark and very twisted... like giving our inner child an enormous sack of sweets.” - The Metro

Tilly loved telling tales, but the tales Tilly told tended to be totally untrue…

Based upon a series of twisted tales, The Terrible Infants blends puppetry, live music, performance, storytelling and physicality into a highly sensory theatrical feast suitable for big kids and small grown-ups. Meet Tumb, the boy who eats his mum, Thingummyboy, with a face even his mother forgets, little Linena, the material girl, manky Mingus and of course little Tilly and her terrible tail. Roald Dahl meets Tim Burton in this hugely theatrical, scary, funny, sad, silly, junk-filled, puppetry packed, dark, delicious, musical, magical piece of performance. Featuring recorded narration from Dame Judi Dench, enjoy an evening of deliciously wicked stories of naughty children and dreadful deeds!
