  • Summary

  • Strange stories for stranger times. With the contemporary world being the troubled, complicated, messy place it is – difficult enough for us to wrap our conscious minds around – we want to interrogate the ugly underbelly of what haunts our unconscious minds.

    F**ked Up Bedtime Stories (for Adults) Series 2 consists of 7 stories from 7 writers, read by leading actors and put out as a podcast and listened to by audiences right before bedtime, all exorcising different and unique horrors from our world and from our lives.


    F**ked Up Bedtime Stories (for adults) Series 1 features seven short stories written by Alissa Anne Jeun Yi, Dipo Baruwa-Etti, Tim Crouch, Vivienne Franzmann, Matilda Ibini, Amy Jephta and Anthony Neilson. ETT asked these 7 brilliant and provocative writers to tackle the strangeness of our nighttime imaginings and twist the familiar form of bedtime stories into something uncanny, dark and surreal.


    F**ked Up Bedtime Stories (for adults) is an English Touring Theatre audio-project.

    I once saw a woman eating an almond croissant with a knife and fork. Some things are weird enough that you should do them in private.


    A story about getting on the property ladder, having your own space, safety; about class, neighbours, and sex. A weird and wonderful story of some "frankly very fucking odd" neighbours with dog-advert shiny hair, expensive jeans, and unexpected habits…
