FOUR STAR REVIEW IN THE GUARDIAN - "Told by an Idiot have a hit on their hands"
Fantastical and captivating The Fahrenheit Twins tells the story of two siblings who live with their scientist parents on a remote arctic exploration station. They spend their days racing huskies across the wintry tundra, rolling in the snow, and recording key events in The Book of Knowledge. Their existence is perfect, until one day their mother unexpectedly takes to her bed and life for the twins will never be the same again.
Funny and savage, The Fahrenheit Twins is a poignantly tender tale of what happens when you can’t stop time.
Co-Artistic Directors of Told by an Idiot, Hayley Carmichael and Paul Hunter, bring acclaimed author Michel Faber’s enthralling story vividly to life, in this original production directed by Matthew Dunster.
