Fear & Delight — Strut & Fret Production House

Overview

Heading to dinner and a show just got a whole lot more interesting. For three weeks as part of Brisbane Festival 2015, the concept of eating, drinking and watching a live performance will be transformed into a decadent culinary and theatrical escapade.

Welcome to Fear & Delight, a whole tent full of black-and-white-themed fun that's three events in one, especially if you're in the mood for something super indulgent. Thanks to the fine folks at Strut & Fret — aka the award-winning makers of LIMBO and Cantina — the main attraction is a daring combination of physical feats and comedy, as set to the sounds of cult UK DJs The Correspondents. Plus, the first installation in the Southern Hemisphere of the G&T Cloud Experience (that's a gin and tonic based weather system for your tongue — yes, really) is part of the production.

That's not all, with pre- and post-performance attractions keeping the lavishness coming. Fancy a feast prior? Then the Devil's Banquet is just the ticket you need, with world-renowned food artists Bompas & Parr serving up gastronomic concoctions that include artisan wines and unexpected antics. Keen for a tipple once the show is over? You'll want to hang around for the afterparty then, where cocktails reign supreme. If this isn't the ultimate opportunity to treat yo'self to something truly special, then we don't know what is.
