Firefly

Firefly

“Through only the sighs of a thousand fireflies, can you come to know the cost, the gaping abyss, the ineffable void, that is left where love is lost”

In the remote village of Bucket’s End, nestled high in the mountains upstream from the disappearing river, Ferine and Ferase manifest their love by delighting in their masterful telling of the story of two ill-fated lovers whose forbidden love is ignited by full moons and fireflies. The exceptional clowning duo of theatre legends Andrew Buckland and Sylvaine Strike take you on an unforgettable journey into wonder with Firefly.

  • Firefly is a fairy tale, a fable and a musing all at once; at once a comedy, a drama, and a love story.
