Changeling

A Child was born before midnight, beneath the wild eastern wind…🌙🪾
This is a small rural community; a community of masks, a community of personas, where fairies are evil and folklore are accepted as universal truths, and the biggest threat of all, is the changeling child.🎭
So when a Child begins to display unnatural traits and skills, the community is steeped in fear.🌳
Changeling is a new play that explores the stigma experienced by disabled and neurodivergent people through the lens of ‘masked’ theatre. Based on European folklore and inspired by the likes of The Crucible, this play delves into the damage of ‘othering’, the dangers of collective paranoia and mob mentality... within a world bearing eerie similarities to our own. 🔗
A raw, provocative reflection on identity, belonging and the cost of being authentic to who you are in a community steeped in intolerance.🕯️
Coming to MC Showroom from September 30 - October 5✨
