Feast your Eyes was the first part in a trilogy of projects made for children that are inspired by the rituals and games of everyday life.

The second part, And the Rain Falls Down, is a celebration of water and of the playfulness of bathtime. The third, Brilliant, is about the deep emotions, the magical imaginings and the secret games that are conjured when the lights go out, when it’s time to go to bed.

Feast your Eyes was a new fairytale, featuring a greedy princess, a child-eating giant, and a couple of enormous mice. The audience were seated around an oversized dining table that became a stage and a projection surface, and the show ended with a celebratory meal that they shared with the performers.

“The latest show from Fevered Sleep is a box of theatrical delights that offers four to seven year-olds a real taste of theatrical innovation.”
The Guardian
