CHARLES Dickens meets Roald Dahl via Horrible Histories with laughs, frights and live music – welcome to Grisly Tales From Tumblewater at Lighthouse in Poole on Saturday.
The show – adapted from Bruno Vincent’s deliciously dark novel – is fast-paced, packed with macabre humour and genuine frights, and features original songs accompanied live on the mandolin.
The show was directed by award-winning theatre-maker and performer Caroline Horton.
A determined orphan, a satchel full of spine-chilling stories and a whole lot of rain – Tumblewater is not a very welcoming place unless you’re an undertaker or an umbrella salesman. Caspian Prye, the twisted landowner, controls everything and everyone; even the police.
Into this world stumbles Daniel Dorey, a fearless orphan armed only with his wits and a satchel of spine-chilling stories.
Can he bring down Caspian Prye?
Can he rescue the girl in the distant room?
Can he even stay alive long enough to tell his tales?
Go and see for yourself. The show is at 2pm and tickets are available from 0844 406 9666.
