This new play written especially for young audiences has evolved out of initial creative workshops with teachers and children exploring the Greek myth of Perseus,The Graeae
and The Gorgon Medusa.

For thousands of years, three monstrous sisters have kept watch over a dark secret on the very edge of the human world. Now a dazzling hero appears to bring light into their shadow lives, but he carries a terrible secret hidden inside the bright promises he makes. Eyecatcher journeys into the hearts of heroes and monsters in search of the truths which lie beyond our first impressions.
