The Grinning Man
25 April – 19 May, Alex Theatre St Kilda.


A strange new act has arrived at Trafalgar Fair’s freakshow.

Who is Grinpayne and how did he get his hideous smile?

In the grim and blackened streets of Trafalgar Square, with the help of an old puppeteer, his pet wolf and a blind girl, Grinpayne’s tale is told. Desperate to know the terrible secrets of his mysterious past and discover the truth of his gruesome disfigurement, Grinpayne leaves everything he knows and loves behind and embarks on a journey into an even crueller world.

Following an extended West End run and an explosive world premiere at Bristol Old Vic, The Grinning Man is a magical and macabre musical based on Victor Hugo’s novel, The Man Who Laughs. Next month, it makes its Australian premiere at the Alex Theatre St Kilda.

This “gothic, dark world of magic and mayhem” (WhatsOnStage) is brought to life by Carl Grose, with an “outstanding score” (The Sunday Times) by Tim Phillips, Marc Teitler and Tom Morris.

An epic tale of gothic horror, laughter, hope and humanity’s deep desire to be ‘seen’ and loved for who we truly are – in our darkness and our light.
