THE ADMIRABLE CRICHTON
By J.M. Barrie

IS THAT A BOLT IN YOUR NECK?

As lightening flashes across the sky, the rugged silhouette of an old dark house looms into view.  Lost in a  storm, this seems like the only possible refuge – but what happens when you hear mysterious moaning in  the middle of the night?  Behind every door lurks unimaginable horror….  

Inspired by gothic horror movie classics of the 1930s, this is a fast-paced, rollicking ride mixing spooky  paranoia, surreal nightmare and frantic farce.  

Suitable for audiences from ages 8 to 80, this is an ideal family show: packed full of hilarious slapstick,  verbal wit, live music and magical illusion.  

 With comedy and thrills galore you’ll gasp, laugh and be amazed at the horrific experiments, the  mind-boggling love, and the sensational death-defying finale. This wonderfully inventive and gripping  comedy horror features three fearless actors, playing over 20 roles in 75 minutes of fast-paced fun and thrilling action.
