Easter May Week
In a dingy flower shop on Skid Row, Seymour’s discovery of a rare and exotic plant, Audrey II, turns his world upside down. The plant’s survival and his rise to fame and fortune however come at a cost: his own flesh and blood. Set to the sound of 1960s Rock n Roll and a backdrop of dark humour, we watch Seymour grapple with a blossoming love, a masochistic dentist and an avaricious boss as he struggles to do the right thing. Will his trials and tribulations end with Audrey somewhere that’s green, or will the monstrous flora have other plans?
