la tulipe noire  

"T.S.F. both celebrate French and remove it as an obstacle."
The Guardian

"Colourful, brash and well crafted."
The Independent

"First Class entertainment."
The Scotsman

A rollicking, romantic adventure of ambition, intrigue and love is award-winning Théâtre Sans Frontières' latest powerful production. Set in 17th century Holland, La Tulipe Noire is a provocative cocktail of jealousy and love, the comic and the torturous. The prized Black Tulip of the title is sought after by a ridiculous set of characters, a mix of "The Draughtsman's Contract" and "The Pit and the Pendulum", in a race against time.

Their absurdity shifts from the disturbing to the lustful and back again with farcical ease. Add Hitchcock-like suspense, an international cast and a specially commissioned score and
La Tulipe Noire is unlike any night you'll have spent in the theatre before.
