Winner of New Diorama, Underbelly and Methuen Drama's 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.
