What is it?

After a sell-out five-star run at the Edinburgh Festival Les Enfants Terribles tour the UK with their new award-winning show, The Trench.

The Trench - Pleasance Islington From the team behind The Terrible Infants and The Vaudevillains, comes a new play inspired by the true story of a miner who became entombed in a tunnel during World War One.  As the horror threatens to engulf him, he finds that not everything in the darkness is what it seems as he starts to discover a new, strange world beneath the mud and death.  Setting off on an epic journey of salvation, the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur as he questions what’s real, what’s not and whether it even matters?

The Trench promises to be a unique theatre performance combining live music, puppetry and physical performance.
