Albert is a man obsessed with puppets, particularly ventriloquist dummies – each face lovingly crafted by his own hand, and bearing an uncanny resemblance to customers, friends and family long gone. But Grimlake is growing old and knows he won’t last forever. He has no son, no successor. Enter Eric. He’s young, he’s eager, and he’s seen all the Muppet movies, twice. But there’s so much to learn!

The Shop of Little Horrors is a dark and twisted show with a wicked sense of humour, featuring a macabre collection of characters. Using extraordinary puppets, masks and props, Pickled Image has created a show to rival their sell out international successes, Houdini’s Suitcase, Hunger and Late Night Wolf Tales.

Ages 12 +

P.S. This show contains no carnivorous plants.
