About the event

The Sorrowful Tale of Sleeping Sidney Puppet Show
The Sorrowful Tale of Sleeping Sidney by Jordan & Black

1871: Brighton. One woman spurned by unrequited love, inflamed with barely quenched lust, undertook a murderous rampage about the town. Her weapon of choice: confectionery. Sweets laced with poison. The Sorrowful Tale of Sleeping Sidney is a comically macabre, puppet-told, true Brighton story about obsessive love, murder and chocolate. Seven lavish glove puppets and one narrator-puppeteer enact this historical tale, based on the story of the Brighton Chocolate Cream Poisoner.

Written by Daisy Jordan and Ulysses Black. Created and performed by Daisy Jordan. Recorded original musical score by Kate Daisy Grant, featuring Nick Pynn.

The show was a finalist for the New Writing South’s “Best New Play Award” following Brighton Fringe Festival 2018.

“a miraculous confection, a jewel box of dark delights… This is a gem of many colours. Do see it. The miraculous construction’s matched by Jordan’s storytelling and sense of dark mischief” – Fringe Review.
