Emma Rice’s Bluebeard – Bold, Brave And Brilliant
A new show opened at The Rep Birmingham last night that was stylish, shocking and utterly spellbinding. Emma Rice’s retelling of Bluebeard was described by The Guardian as a ‘fairy tale’ but for me it is more like a horror story told in the style of a Wiemar Republic cabaret, complete with seductive songs and performances. This is a show that has it all, a murderous central story, a charismatic villain, beautiful heroines in red shoes, magic tricks and a kick ass nuns.

I love a good murder mystery. And when the mystery is a string of murders, taking place on the most beautiful, Art Deco cruise liner (based on the Normandie maybe?), then I am totally sold. Add a beautiful, glamorous cast, a fiesty heroine, and a brilliant tongue in cheek performance from Mandy Patinkin, who I totally loved as Sol in Homeland, and you have the unmissable ‘Death and other Details’ something that has filled my ‘Only murders in the building’ gap this early Spring.
