High above the city, a gargoyle watches the intricate dance between spider and fly. Caught in a web of desire, a beautiful girl appears to dangle from a gossamer thread - or is it from the scaffold?
Combining inventive physical theatre with live music, this international cast of actors takes the audience on an intoxicatingly delicious theatrical journey.
Numerous Hollywood film versions have ensured that Victor Hugo's novel 'Notre Dame de Paris' set in 1482 is the best known of all French Classics amongst the English speaking public. In 1994 TSF brought their verve, comic energy and inspiring visual theatre to this tale that won the 1994 Northern Electric 'Creative Award for the Arts'.
