About the project

TROUPE in The Ballad of Lucky B’Stard

Troupe in The Ballad Of Lucky B’Stard.
It takes 75 years to digest a friend

Since the demise of Troupe’s Lucky B’Stard, their confidence trickster 75 years ago, the timeless band of roaming Carnival characters have had a hole in their heart – but it’s time to recruit a new member for a life of Carnival chaos.

They’re looking to feed the hungry hole in their heart – will it be with you?

Fifi Fitzpleasure : Ssshhh… She can undo a gentleman’s flies at 100 paces with her magnetic eyes…

Miss Frisson : Smokin’ if you dare to give her a light…

Mr Berlin : The Carnivale Jekyll and Hyde – one side will greet you, one side will eat you…

The Ringmaster : No sleep til Bedlam!
