The Devil's Violin

A magical, murderous, musical fairy tale by Lucy Rivers.

Life for 16-year-old Hannah is pretty miserable. Her mother's a drunk and her baby brother Gethin is an evil little gremlin child. But then one night she meets an alluring violinist who plays the most seductive melodies. He offers Hannah the chance to fulfil her darkest desires. How far will Hannah go to get what she wants?

A wickedly playful dark modern fable with an original score composed and performed by Lucy Rivers.
