The Tragic and Disturbing Tale of Little Lupin tells the tale of a girl who is not like others and how life in the wild can take unexpected and sometimes rather unpleasant turns. With its roots in the dark, rich soil of fairy tales, it is suitable for people who have ever strayed off the path and into the woods...
The animation has been screened at Encounters International Film Festival and Public Domain, and the DVD is now available for 10 pounds.
Little Lupin opened to positive responses at the Bristol Do in September 2009, sold out during its run at Bristol Old Vic and was the theatre Pick of the Week for two consecutive weeks in The Guardian.
It was one of the Theatre Bristol/Bristol Old Vic live performance commissions and received development support from the Bristol Do and Arts Council England,
It toured nationally in 2009 and 2010, including performances at Greenwich and Docklands International Festival, Stockton International Riverside Festival and the National Theatre in London.
"I would highly recommend Little Lupin as a great small/mid scale show for any festival. It is different to anything else out there at the moment. It made me howl with laughter and the audiences loved it." Claire Teasdale, Joint Festivals and Events Manager, Bristol City Council
"It is quirky, clever and extremely amusing. The animation has an attractively simple feel, and there is something slightly magical about being in an audience of only a dozen or so people." Reviews Gate
"Luci Gorell Barnes employed three distinctly hairy usherettes to unite an audience in some lupine bonding activities, before showing her beguiling and funny animation." Venue
