Grisly Tales from Tumblewater
Presented at Studio
A determined orphan, a satchel full of spine-chilling stories and a whole lot of rain! Charles 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?
Edward Jaspers, co-writer of Hamlet! The Musical (Whatsonstage Audience Choice Best Musical 2010), performs this one-man adaptation of Bruno Vincent’s deliciously dark novel (Nominated for the 2010 Waterstones Children’s Book Awards), directed by Caroline Horton (Winner of the 2010 The Stage award – Best Solo Performer for You’re Not Like The Other Girls Chrissy). The production has been supported by The Brewhouse Theatre and Arts Centre, Taunton.
