And The Little One Said

Although we may be used to seeing Jess Love flying above our heads, it’s lovely to see her playing on the ground in her first solo show: And The Little One Said.

Although we may be used to seeing Jess Love flying above our heads, it’s lovely to see her playing on the ground in her first solo show: And The Little One Said.

Ready for a night of rhymes and tales, Jess is clad in pink and tulle, but, like finding a bloody tooth in your fairy floss, her ‘toys’ don’t want to play nice and her playground hides some bloody secrets.

Delightfully quirky and gorgeously gruesome, Jess’s collection of fractured fairy tales and games-gone-wrong pervert her sweetness until she accepts the madness and dares the blood to flow.

If you loved Jess in The Candy Butchers and her guest appearances in The Burlesque Hour, you’ll be just as thrilled with the hoop, skating and tumbling of And The Little One Said. And she obeys one of my favourite rules of circus: if you see a roofing nail, you know where it has to go.
