"Hear me now, and open up your eyes&" Delve into the mesmerising world of The Girl With The Enamel Eyes. A tragicomic, one act spin of Arthur Saint-Lon's captivating 1870's ballet, Copplia; brought to new life by Emmy Khan, and given its wings through this darkly original, musical resurrection. When the young, and more-than-hopeless romantic, Franz, first sets eyes on the mysterious girl up on the balcony of Dr Copplius' workshop, it's as if his very soul calls out to her! He has to see her again! From that moment, Franz is undeniably sure this girl will change his life. But what he doesn't yet realise is how that change may not necessarily be for the better& Allow yourself to be taken by the hand of Baba, our story's grim narrator, as she guides you through this cautionary tale of blind love and false perfection. The heart may see what it wants, but what is left to look at once the dream is stripped away? Dare you come along with us for this musical love story that beats with a dark heart? Let The Girl With The Enamel Eyes whisk you away in this unforgettable theatrical experience. LATECOMERS MAY NOT BE ADMITTED. UNDER 18s ARE NOT PERMITTED INTO THE THEATRE FOR THIS PERFORMANCE.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
