Adapted from Lemony Snicket’s picture book, The Dark is a universal and empowering family adventure about facing one’s fears.
Laszlo is afraid of the dark. The dark lives in the basement. It doesn’t visit Laszlo in his room. Until one night it does . . .
Merging vibrant physicality with live music to create captivating performances, The Dark is accessible for blind and visually impaired children through integrated audio-description and touch tours.
Join Laszlo on his journey to meet the dark, and find out why it will never bother him again.
