Coming from New Zealand to McLean, Trick of the Light Theater presents a fantastic wordless play for ages 13+ Saturday June 25
Trick of the Light Theatre: “The Griegol”
Ages 13+
Tickets: $20/$17 seniors and students/$15 MCC tax district residents
New Zealand’s Trick of the Light Theater shares an eerie, elegant wordless tale about death, love, grief and monsters. After a child’s granny passes away, she starts to suspect she is being pursued by the smoke demon shapeshifter from the old woman’s stories. In the tradition of “Spirited Away” and “Coraline,” “The Griegol” is a mythic, gorgeously rendered dark fantasy for lovers of theater that conjures magic and laughter out of silhouettes, puppetry, live music and animation.
“Charming, poignant and expertly performed. A unique theatre experience.” – TheatreScenes
