THE MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH

'The Masque of the Red Death' is a short story that follows Prince Prospero's attempts to avoid a dangerous plague, known as the Red Death, by partying (with his rich friends and acquaintances) in his abbey.  
And not just any party, what goes on in that opulent abbey would make the readers of 'Fifty Shade of Grey' blush to their toenails.

We are ridiculously excited about this particular projects artform as it brings a very modern style to this deliciously wonderful old prose.
It's also a story that seems to reverberate disturbingly through the centuries given the world's recent events and the behaviours of some of our illustrious leaders.

This project was directed by Olivia French and LEGO Stop Motion by Marli van der Bijl.
