Milk Presents

delightfully low-tech inventions, fusing cabaret song, new writing
and live animation. Woven through the fabric of their work is
a curiosity in the gender roles that still bind many of the stories
we all tell. Their most recent production Bluebeard: A
Fairytale for Adults was nominated for a Total Theatre
Award and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and enjoyed a sell-out run
at BAC. They are currently developing their new
show A Real Man's Guide to Sainthood, with the
