[Description: A stylised digital illustration of Grinpayne from The Grinning Man, with thick, bold lines. He is a white-passing man with dark curly hair and a large bloody bandage covering his mouth and chin.

Grinpayne crouches on a purple-y grey plain background, one hand raised as if to almost cover his face, the other hand lower and limp like "raptor-hands" posture.

I finally drew them again

[Image ID: Two traditional sketches of Dea and Gwynplaine from The Grinning Man. Dea has short cut hair, unfocused eyes, and a shawl around her shoulders. Gwynplaine has loose curls, a loose poets shirt, and a leather vest. His mouth is cut to resemble a smile, and is bleeding. Both character’s eyes are tired and heavy set. End ID]

"I am a child and I am not scary. I am actually very nice to be around."

I'll probably never see The Grinning Man in person, so Pavel Stukalov singing Labyrinth live on stream is the closest I can get 👌

grinpayne and dea are like dykes to me

[southwarkfair]

my favourite ursus moments in tgm are when hes being an exploitative youtube dad who forces his kids to perform for clout and money

[theteaisaddictive]

still going insane over ‘stories are her way of seeing / but she’s not the one who’s been bleeding / she loves the tale of what happened to me / but she wouldn’t love me if her eyes could see’. btw.

Josiana: We found a printer to make our posters. (Holds up poster of Mojo)

David: Hey I thought designing the lost Mojo poster was my job. I’ve been working all day on my Mojo. (Holds up a poorly made drawing)

Grinpayne: (Looks at the drawing) David his tail is not on his head.

David: That’s not his head.

Ursus: (Also looks at the drawing) Why are there feet coming out out of it?

David: Those are his ears. I haven’t seen him in awhile, okay?

Dea: It looks just like him to me.

David: Thank you, I worked really- (Then realization hits him) Why do you feel the need to do that?

The Australian premiere of The Grinning Man, a tragicomic musical based on Victor Hugo's novel 'The Man Who Laughs'. Book by Carl Grose, music by Tim Phillips, Marc Teitler and lyrics by Carl Grose, Tom Morris, Tim Phillips and Marc Teitler.

Where the original production employed the use of puppets to portray the childhood of the lead characters, Salty Theatre has cast two disabled artists in the roles. Seventeen year old blind musician Lilly Cascun as Young Dea and disability advocate Matthew Hearne as Young Grinpayne.

They are joined by a brilliant ensemble of artists, guided by disability consultants and nurtured by the blossoming Melbourne based independent theatre company that is Salty Theatre.

The Grinning Man is now playing at the Alex Theatre in Melbourne until May 19th. Photography by Ben Fon.

"Dea loves the tale of what happened to me

But she wouldn’t love me if her eyes could see."

(I got too obsessed with this show fr so I drew Sienna as Dea and Snape as Grinpayne)
