Melbourne Fringe: Little V’s Terrible Tea Party

Welcome to Little V’s nightmare: a place where time is irrelevant and nobody is safe.

Virginia, the eponymous Little V, has a surprise for us, but we must wait. Meanwhile, we are subjected to a sinister, and vaguely disturbing, floor-show-cum-tea-party, where tea will be spilled and mess will be made.

Initially, Little V comes across as a spoiled little girl, but as this psychic scream of a show progresses, we come to understand the actual ways in which Little V has been spoiled. This show goes to some very dark places indeed and is not for the faint of heart.
