A riotous musical comedy celebrating curiosity and imagination with a miscellany of tall tales handpicked by you – featured in The Guardian’s Best Shows of Edinburgh Fringe 2018

Tales of woe, tales of science, tales of curses, tales of defiance. Also, some juggling. Reach into Fanny’s cabinet for a musical voyage of hilarity. But beware! Somebody’s out to sink her ship.

Inspired by the historical practice of keeping cabinets of curiosities, The Cabinet of Madame Fanny Du Thé invites the audience to meet the eccentric 18th century explorer, Madame Fanny, and to take their pick from the weird and wonderful souvenirs in her cabinet of curiosities. For whichever curio they choose, Fanny and her servants perform the elaborate tale behind it, taking the audience on a voyage of hilarity. From battling with pirates to partying with Marie Antoinette, Fanny’s (allegedly) done it all. But while she revels in telling her outrageously outlandish stories, somebody far more serious is on the way to bring her down to earth. The show is a celebration of curiosity and story-telling, features live original music, and allows the audience to hand-pick the tall tales they are told.
