IT will be a nursery rhyme nightmare as favourite childhood characters take a sinister turn.

Outdoor theatre company Mischief La-Bas is taking over the back streets of Glasgow in a night time performance taking visitors from the depths of Mother Goose's forest to the fun of the F***ed-Up Fairground.

Streets around the Trongate will be filled with performers, soundscapes, film and art installations.

Nursery Crymes will have theatre-goers move in and out of the Britannia Panopticon Music Hall as performers show the dark side of nursery rhymes with ideas of authority and morality mixed into simple childhood tales.

Renowned live artist Liz Aggiss has created a new film and choreography for Nursery Crymes with a sin-fuelled Cinderella, to be screened in the Britannica Panopticon Music Hall.

Fiona Robertson, one of Glasgow’s leading visual artists explores the surreal, deeply-rooted imagery of nursery rhymes and the grotesque in the tactile on-site installation and film Bad Sheep.

Hastings-based collective Radiator Arts will present installations and projections created from nursery rhyme imagery.

Artist Dav Bernard presents Alouette (High Voltage), an innovative live projection and soundscape manufactured by welding sparks.

Glas(s) Performance and youth company Junction 25 take over the barred-up windows along New Wynd Lane with sound piece called good/bad/horrid.

Around all this, the Nursery Crymes show plays out, as Mischief La-Bas performers take on twisted forms of some beloved childhood characters, in very unexpected scenarios.

The show runs on November 24 and 25 at various time from 6pm to 8.40pm.

Tickets are available through the Tron Theatre Box Office: www.tron.co.uk or 0141 552 4267.

Audiences are advised to dress for the weather as most of the performance takes place outdoors.
