FAIRYTALES FOR GROWN-UPS: THE GRATEFUL & THE DEAD

Ben Haggarty
11 MAY 2026, 7.30PM

The Crick Crack Club comes to Dulwich Festival!

A wild pursuit of a dream collides with frozen spit, psychic hare-hags, bizarre marriages, and strange helpers.

Dark, comedic, and beautiful by turn, let Ben Haggarty lure you into a full-blooded fairytale for grown-ups – a story of initiations, intoxications, the repayment of debts, and the risks of chasing what you want most.

Fierce, fast-paced, and unashamedly magical – in this world reality bends and rules aren’t broken lightly. Come on in.
