1927 are seeking 3 incredible female performers to replace the original cast of The Animals and Children took to the Streets!

1927 is a London based performance company that specialise in combining performance and live music with animation and film to create original filmic theatre. Due to the demands of making new work, we are seeking performers to tour our award-winning production across the UK and overseas in 2013.

Performers should be strong, original and versatile, with a commitment to and enthusiasm for contemporary theatre, animation and "mixed media" performance!

'Think Alexander Rodchenko meets Tim Burton, Charles Dickens meets Fritz Lang, and the early 20th-century silent movie meets the 21st-century graphic novel, and you have something of the flavour of this jaw-droppingly clever and gloriously subversive parable of social mobility, revolution and its suppressionä 1927 conjure a world so complete it feels as if you've fallen down a rabbit hole'
