    Heartbreaking and hilarious. A true heroes journey with its own unique twists and turns. Brilliantly utilizes music and inventive theatricality to tell the story of a little girl on a quest to find her way home.

    A full-stop adventure story that keeps audiences guessing, "BB’s Inferno" is full of heart, mystery, and humor. Many theatres commission adaptations of classics like “Treasure Island,” or “Sherlock Holmes,” but it’s a rare and welcome thing to see the adventure genre explored on the stage with original stories. Mixing influences as diverse as spaghetti western, Milton, “The Wizard of Oz,” and the music of the Foo Fighters, "BB’s Inferno" breaks new ground and tells a story that embraces theatricality and never fails to surprise its audience with a twist along its strangely moving quest.
