Nothing Is What It Seems

Mr Jeremy is rehearsing his highly anticipated, groundbreaking new adaptation of 'Little Red Riding Hood' with the Burnley Youth Theatre ensemble, but the fine line between fantasy and reality becomes blurred and Nothing Is What It Seems...

To coincide with Told by an Idiot's co-production of The Cat and The Canary with Chichester Festival Theatre, we embarked on a new film project with an ensemble of young performers aged 11 - 16 years old, in partnership with Burnley Youth Theatre.

Through a three-day residency, the ensemble worked with Told by an Idiot practitioners to devise and shoot a short horror/comedy film inspired by Angela Carter's The Werewolf.
