Arena Nights

Arena Nights - Spring 2026

Tuesday 10th February at 7.30pm

Featuring - 

Lullabies and Love Story by Maya Catherine Foster

The show focuses on the dark and bloody fates so often inflicted upon women in fairytales and folklore, and questions the need for the continual sacrifice they face in an epic hero's tale. The whole concept focuses on a supernatural spirit capturing the audience, who serve as a collective "Hero," in a pseudo fairy circle, and telling them stories and folksongs in an attempt to steer them down a new path, one filled with less bloody casualties that fuel the Hero's narrative arc.

It's a twist on the classic storytelling around a campfire, with an ironic title describing the dark traditional folk songs and fairytales being told.
