Description

'When my grandmother’s sister Agnes was nine years old, she disappeared.' What Happened to Agnes brings to life the vivid imagination of singer and storyteller Nishla Smith, as she spins her grandmother’s Malaysian childhood memories into a magic-realist realm of talking tigers, hidden dangers and infinite staircases. Set against the vibrant colour of Luca Shaw's hand-painted projections and a stunning piano backdrop from Tom Harris, Nishla's haunting songs bewitch and enchant, drawing the listeners ever deeper into a dark world of lost memories. ‘Simply Sublime’ ****½ (TheReviewsHub.com). ‘Dreamlike, vivid’ (BritishTheatreGuide.info).
