Caligari

Winner of New Diorama, Underbelly and Methuen Dramas Untapped Award 2022 A new Caligari comes to life accompanied by a five-piece band. Embracing the long shadows and broad brushstrokes of German expressionism, Caligari exposes parallels between post-war Weimar and the UK today: an ever-widening class divide, a subconscious need for a tyrant, and an unwillingness to rebel against deranged authority. The doctor's victims take centre stage in this minty-fresh take on the German horror cult-classic, written by Georgie Bailey and presented by Off West End Award-winning ChewBoy Productions. This edition was published to coincide with the production at Underbelly Cowgate, Edinburgh, in August 2022.
