ToungeTied – The Fantasist’s Waltz

TongueTied Theatre returns to the York Theatre Royal Studio with their production of The Fantasist’s Waltz. A year after relocating to York to become an associate company of the York Theatre Royal, TongueTied is proud to be presenting their newest production in association with the theatre. Since their debut performance of The Unholy Trinity at the 2010 HATCH festival you might have seen their work in the masks for the production of My Family and Other Animals, which they constructed.

Told through physical storytelling and live music, The Fantasist’s Waltz is a haunting modern fairytale about a man’s extraordinary fight for survival in a world that has seemingly forgotten him. Baffled by a world in which he feels an outsider, the Fantasist has created an incredible imaginary world filled with wild balls, bouncing orchestras and saturated colour. Here he spends his nights, each and every night, dancing his worries away. His reliance upon these dreamland escapades become too great, and as his control begins to crumble his entire world crashes down upon him. Lost and alone, he is left searching for new meaning in life. The answer, though, might just be closer than even he could imagine.

The talented ensemble cast includes Joe Bone (performer of the award winning BANE trilogy), Lizzie Wort, Seiriol Davies and Ed Wren.
The Fantasist’s Waltz, which was created with the support of York Theatre Royal, premieres at the York Theatre Royal Studio on the 17th and 18th February.

We very much hope to see you there!
