Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea is a multiple award winning theatrical cabaret which cleverly combines live music, performance and storytelling with films and animations. 

Using the aesthetic of silent film, a series of comic vignettes unfold in which the performers interact with original animations and film.  The audience is taken on a journey through many and varied landscapes; from the weird underbelly of the suburbs, to wild, wild woods and shipwrecked seas.   Hapless cats, marauding gingerbread men and cross dressing devils all make an appearance, not to mention the sinister twins and their misfortunate guests.  

The show has been compared to Shockheaded Peter, David Lynch, Tim Burton and Edward Gorey with a twist of Weimeir cabaret. 1927’s world is, however, unique to their own highly crafted sensibilities.
