Melody of KinProfessional company

75 minutesThe Annexe
My Oh My, Mr Dream. He is older than stars, lonelier than gods and he has stories to tell – stories before the cold. From a cage deep in the dark, Mr Dream emerges. Ancient. Alone. Holding three tokens, three dreams. A sailor rowing towards the edge of the world. A king commanding an army of mice. A voiceless boy who speaks only to birds. You choose the order. He does the rest. Part dream, part ritual: he will watch you back. Be gentle with the tokens. Some of them bite.

About Melody of Kin

My Oh My, Mr Dream is a storytelling theatre show from Melody of Kin, performed at The Annexe during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. From a cage deep in the dark, the ancient Mr Dream emerges holding three tokens and three stories: a sailor rowing towards the edge of the world, a king commanding an army of mice, and a voiceless boy who speaks only to birds. The audience chooses the order; Mr Dream does the rest. Part dream, part ritual. The show runs for 75 minutes, tickets from £8, and is suitable for audiences aged 14 and over.

Why see this show?

A genuinely uncanny piece of theatre — part storytelling ritual, part dream logic. The premise of letting the audience choose the order of three tales gives it a feeling of complicity that stays with you.
