Are you afraid of the Big Bad Wolf? You should be.
Storyteller Rhys Williamson brings A Very Difficult Person to SPRINT Festival 2026, reshaping a real roofing scam into a dark and uncanny modern fairytale.
When the Big Bad Wolf knocks at his door, Rhys lets him in, sits him at the dining room table and is shocked when the wolf tries to gobble him up. A small repair twists into unease, mistrust and the cold realisation that your home may no longer be yours.
Using storytelling and object theatre, Rhys digs into safety, shame, love and the fragile structures we rely on to feel secure.
Bold, eerie and unexpectedly moving, A Very Difficult Person invites audiences into a lived experience that is as absurd as it is frightening. At its heart lies one question:
What would you do to protect your home?
