The Tiger Lillies

Fri 15 Feb 2013

With visuals by Mark Holthusen

The Tiger Lillies’ genre-defying brand of other-worldly vocals and unnerving performance style have carved them a unique niche in the cabaret and music theatre scene. After a hit run of Hamlet in London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall, the cult creators of the award-winning Shockheaded Peter, now stage another adaptation of a macabre classic.

This visceral repackaging of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner takes Coleridge’s tale of the sinister and supernatural and adds its own dash of music-hall panache and sometimes shocking perspective. The band’s flamboyant live performance is enhanced by large-scale virtual sets that create an immersive and highly atmospheric environment. Across 25 songs and interludes, the legend of the Ancient Mariner unfolds as uncompromising musical and visual melodrama.
