Following performances at the Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Newcastle Fringe Festivals, Avalon presents the award-winning witty, musical and totally original Disenchanted: A Halloween Cabaret of Twisted Fairy Tales for adults.
Presented by writer and performer Eliane Morel and accompanied by musical director Daryl Wallis, ‘Disenchanted’ transports you to a 17th Century Parisian salon hosted by the Godmother of fairy tales, Madame d'Aulnoy.
Here you will be entertained, amused and aroused by fairy tale characters gathering to re-tell their stories – but with a twist (often prophetically relevant to today): the wolf from Red Riding Hood reveals his tender side; the Goose who lays golden eggs in Jack in the Beanstalk joins the Vegan revolution and the ugly sister whistle-blows on Cinderella's dastardly housework roster… to name just a few!
Described as a 'raunchy, operatic Into The Woods', the Disenchanted characters are on a quest to discover: Why was the wolf in Grandma's bed? Did Sleeping Beauty consent? Were the Ugly Sisters' feet really that big? ... And what's this all got to do with the French Revolution?
While you enjoy the show, the Avalon culinary team will tease your tastebuds with a three-course menu inspired by the fairytales.
Dress code: Halloween Fairytale. Prizes will be awarded for the best-dressed.
