The Ink Thief

1994 · 1 season

A strange, theatrical romp through a gothic imaginary world, with songs and menace that feel delightfully odd rather than scary.

Overview
The titular Ink Thief steals the power of children's imaginations by removing ink from books and drawings, dragging young siblings Sam and Jim into his fantastical world of Bumps and Oobs.
How it feels
Whimsical, eerie, campy and dark. Measured and needs your attention.
