CAPTAIN MURDERER

(from Charles Dickens) – 1f, 1m

This is a gorgeously ghoulish play based on Charles Dickens’ horror classic.

The well-to-do gentleman of the title is a serial wooer … but all his brides come to a deliciously sticky end. When he turns his attentions to twin sisters, however, he finds the tables turned on himself in a fiendish act of revenge!

Full of luscious waltzes and devilish joie de vivre, the Captain dances his way gleefully through a succession of marriages until he meets his nemesis in the twin sister who helps him tell his tale – chilling!

“With excellent acting, sound and lighting placed for the ultimate build in tension, great timing and a tale so macabre that one may find oneself glancing repeatedly over one's shoulder, Captain Murderer can only be described as deliciously despicable and stupendous fun” “a masterclass ... brilliant” (remotegoat.co.uk)
