Grisly Tales from Tumblewater

Synopsis:
A determined orphan, a satchel full of spine-chilling stories and a whole lot of rain! Dickens meets Roald Dahl via Horrible Histories with laughs, frights and live music. Welcome to Tumblewater. Not that it's 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?

Notes:
from Bruno Vincent's dark novel Grisly Tales from Tumblewater

Hamlet! the Musical

Synopsis:
Six fearless actors and a live orchestra squeeze murder, madness (and musical theatre) into this joyous and critically-acclaimed retelling of Shakespeare's greatest tragedy. It's the Bard's most famous play  only shorter, funnier and with a few more show tunes. Boasting rapier-sharp wit and a sumptuous score, Hamlet! the Musical features all of your favourite characters, from the sweet Prince Hamlet himself, to crazed Ophelia and the treacherous Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Join us for a gleefully inventive and uplifting evening of foot-tapping first folio frolics. See it or elsinore!
