Description
A strange new act has arrived at Trafalgar Fair's freakshow.Who is Grinpayne and how did he get his hideous smile?With the help of an old puppeteer, his pet wolf and a blind girl, Grinpayne's tale is told. When word spreads across the capital, everything changes. Desperate to know the terrible secrets of his mysterious past, Grinpayne leaves his true love behind and embarks on a journey into an even crueller world - the aristocracy. The Grinning Man is a fairy tale love story streaked with pitch-black humour, lashings of Gothic horror and swashbuckling adventure. It opened at Bristol Old Vic in 2016 to great acclaim and transferred to the West End's Trafalgar Studios in 2017 where it achieved cult status and rave reviews."Defies theatrical convention by keeping its hand on its heart and its tongue in its cheek." - The Guardian"Blackly comic brilliance." - The Telegraph"The best British score in years" - WhatsOnStage
