Shivers & Shadows by Squashbox Theatre

Get ready to shiver, shake, shudder and scream with Squashbox! Craig has just inherited a creepy mansion from his great Uncle Vladimir. Join him as he explores the mansion’s secrets and meets some of its spooky inhabitants. What ghouls and spectres haunt the gloomy corridors of this old house? What are those eerie shapes moving through the dark forest outside? And what mysterious creature lurks in the cellar below?

Expect an overflowing cauldron of a show, brimming with delightful frights and hilarious horrors, bubbling with ingenious puppetry and comedy, seasoned with scary stories and tall tales, flavoured with live music and songs, loud noises and topped with a sprinkling of slapstick and silliness.
