Harbinger

Brink Productions'
Harbinger
By Matthew Whittet

It's a rare and thrilling treat when contemporary, blood-soaked horror disgraces the stage, and Harbinger does just that. A tender 'boy meets girl, girl eats boy' love story caked in crimson humour, Harbinger by Matthew Whittet is as hilarious as it is unsettling. Think David Lynch meets Bram Stoker. Think Hitchcock meets True Blood. Think Freddy Krueger meets - actually, stop thinking and start preparing for what will be the funniest, juiciest, most disturbing theatre experience of 2010, or possibly even your life…

A nightmarish dreamscape and black comedy rolled into a rich theatrical brew. Harbinger is compelling, disturbing, whimsical, funny, demanding and accessible. Filled with pop cultural references, it blends the humour of The Flight of the Conchords and the aesthetics of film-maker, David Lynch.
