Grisly Tales From Tumblewater

Birmingham based Teasel Theatre Company will be bringing their highly acclaimed children’s production Grisly Tales From Tumblewater to The Public on 23 March.

Grisly Tales From TumblewaterPart of Theatre Fever, a two week celebration of West Midlands made theatre, Grisly Tales From Tumblewater follows the story of a determined orphan and his satchel full of spine-chilling tales.

Dickens meets Roald Dahl via Horrible Histories with laughs, frights and live music, the magical theatrical show has been described as a ‘must see’ by The Stage, and ‘a beacon of light-hearted pleasure’.

Edward Jaspers (co-writer of Hamlet! The Muscial) performs in this rip-roaring one-man adaptation of Bruno Vincent’s deliciously dark novel, which itself was nominated for a 2010 Waterstone’s Children’s Book Award.
