A girl who reads dreams, a mother who sews garments lined with love and warmth, a grandfather who heals people with his magical concoctions, and a baby boy with three legs... Welcome to the magical world of The Grimstones family! The Grimstones is no ordinary puppet show. Created and performed by one of Melbourne's leading circus performers, The Grimstones is a gothic fairytale told with giant books, exquisite old-world marionettes and sign language.

Martha is gifted with the ability to see peoples’ dreams and she sees her mother’s eternal longing for more babies after the death of her husband. Ignoring his warnings, Martha uses her grandfather’s magic to create a baby brother who has his own magical abilities and together they discover the secrets and heartache that have plagued their family for a generation. With amazing sets and superb puppeteering The Grimstones brilliantly brings to life its heart-rending characters. With Asphyxia’s Auslan-signed puppetry this performance is fully accessible to both deaf and hearing audiences. Running from October 27 to 30. For more info visit: http://www.theartscentre.com.au.
