Bluebeard’s Castle

About the show

Judith enters Bluebeard’s dark castle with him and insists that he open its seven locked doors. They reveal a torture chamber, an armory, a treasury, a garden, and Bluebeard’s vast kingdom; blood marks each of these. The sixth door reveals a lake of tears. Judith then demands that Bluebeard open the final door, which he says must remain shut. Behind it are his three former wives, alive and wearing crowns and jewels. Bluebeard names Judith his fourth wife, dresses her in their jewelry, and leads her away through the door. The castle fades into darkness, leaving him alone.
