HUMMINGBIRD

TOOTH+NAIL THEATRE COMPANY (Scotland, England, France)

About

Neither expected to fall in love. But once they did, they just kept on falling. A seductive tale of love and murder in 1950s USA, with acrobatics, action and a striking visual style. ‘A sepia-toned, doomed romance. Immaculate.’ ★★★★ (The Scotsman)
