It’s a rare and thrilling treat when contemporary, blood-soaked horror disgraces the stage, and Harbinger does just that.  A tender ‘boy meets girl, girl eats boy’ love story caked in crimson humour, Harbinger by Matthew Whittet is as hilarious as it is unsettling. A nightmarish dreamscape and black comedy rolled into a rich theatrical brew. Think David Lynch meets Flight of the Conchords. Think Hitchcock meets True Blood. Think Freddy Krueger meets - actually. stop thinking and start preparing for what will be the funniest, juiciest, most disturbing theatre experience of 2010, or possibly even your life.
