21 years after it came kicking and screaming into the world, Philip Ridley’s The Pitchfork Disney has come of age…

Ten years ago something terrible happened to Presley and Haley. Since then they have lived alone in their dead parents’ house. But one night their safe isolation is shattered by the arrival of Cosmo Disney, who confronts them with the scariest question of all… what exactly happened to their parents?
 

When The Pitchfork Disney premiered at the Bush theatre in 1991, Ridley’s play caused a sensation. With its barrage of barbaric and magical imagery, its gleaming dark comedy and catastrophic air of violence and sexual tension, audiences were left breathless, intoxicated and, in some cases, fleeing in terror.

Now director Edward Dick takes on this contemporary classic and reveals that Ridley’s dark and glittering vision looks today more like breathtaking prophecy.

The Pitchfork Disney is not suitable for under 14’s.
