Christine Johnston will be touring Scotland in 2018 with a brand new show - BABA YAGA

Vaselina lives the quiet life, working as a receptionist in a very tall apartment block. But all that changes when she is forced to confront a terrifying resident who plays her music far too loudly and eats jelly babies with her mouth open.

Who is this mysterious neighbour? Will she ever turn the music down? And what exactly is she planning for dinner?

An uproarious musical journey to the top floor and beyond, Baba Yaga is a brand new take on an old Russian folktale co-created by director Rosemary Myers and two unique and celebrated artists from opposite ends of the globe; Shona Reppe (The Curious Scrapbook of Josephine Bean) and Christine Johnston (The Kransky Sisters).

Baba Yaga will premiere at the Edinburgh International Children’s Festival in May 2018.


Christine is also excited to be working again with long-time collaborator Peter Nelson (FLUFF/ RRAMP) creating the music and sound design for Baba Yaga and Selene Cochrane (FLUFF/RRAMP/Madame Lark) for creating the costumes.
