// as seen at the National Theatre and Battersea Arts Centre
Trust no one. Suspect even your own shadow. Welcome to the Bayou, a part of the city feared and loathed, wherein lies the infamous Bayou Mansions; a sprawling, stinking tenement block, in which curtain-twitchers and peeping toms live side-by-side, and the wolf is always at the door. Like a giant graphic novel burst into life, 1927 invite you on a theatrical journey of startling originality. “Anyone interested in the theatre should see this company now” The Observer. “a perfect show.” The Financial Times
