“When they answered the bell on that wild winter night,There was no one expected – and no one in sight
Then they saw something standing on top of an urn, Whose peculiar appearance gave them quite a turn.”
When a curious creature scuttles into the Bishop Family’s house, they have no idea how to get rid of it. Eating plates, trapping them in their own drawing room for weeks and throwing their favourite possessions into a pond, it holds them prisoners in their own home.
Brimming full of strangely fantastical music and performances, Edward Gorey’s absurdly bizarre comedy is brought vividly to life by Hoipolloi. A delightfully dark and sneakily sinister tale for everyone who enjoys a little havoc in their lives!
