Exeter Northcott - Grisly Tales From Tumblewater

Teasel Theatre present their family show, Grisly Tales from Tumblewater.

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 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?

A hit at the 2011 Edinburgh Fringe, Edward Jaspers performs this one-man adaptation of Bruno Vincent's deliciously dark novel (Nominated for the 2010 Waterstone's Children's Book Awards).
