Extravaganza Macabre

A Tale of Villainy & Valour in Victorian London

Following the launch of Battersea Arts Centre's open-air Courtyard last summer, Extravaganza Macabre returns this July.

We cordially invite you to join us for an evening of wild music and audience mischief.

A freak storm parts two passionate lovers and sets them on a tortuous path of cruel fate and hapless chance. Can a loyal urchin and clairvoyant maid help to reunite the desperate pair? Or will our scheming villain have his wicked way?

Witness the woe, howl at the horror and gasp at the gallantry in a tale of unbearably high stakes, unspeakable moral lows and double lashings of devilish over-the-toppery.

This performance will take place in our open-air Courtyard theatre - please dress for the weather!
