Twins Presley and Haley Stray, abandoned in a dark forest and never found, spend their days trying to recreate the remembered/imagined comfort of their parents, eating chocolates and trying not to have nightmares as they deal with the demons in their damaged psyches.

When their safe cocoon is invaded by Pichfork Cavalier and Cosmo Disney, their world is turned upside down. The pair are business associates making lots of money out of a bizarre sideshow. But it is their strange beliefs and fears which strike a chord with the twins' own nightmares.

This is a dark, frightening and unusual play.

This production is directed by Bree Short who has previously directed Muzeeka by John Guare and Massage by Michael Wilcox for Hayman Theatre. Starring Austin Castiglione, Heath Miller, Carla Kissane and Christopher Sansoni.
