A Tomb with a view - Madcap Theatre
|
|
|
1930 hrs
Come join me for an evening with Tread the Boards for Norman Robbins' comedy thriller which features the eccentric Tomb family. In as sinister an old library as one is likely to come across, presided over by the portrait of a grim-faced, mad-eyed old man, a dusty lawyer reads a will (involving some millions of pounds) to an equally sinister family; one member of which has werewolf tendencies, another wanders around in a toga thinking that he is Julius Caesar, whilst a third is a gentle lady - who plants more than seeds in her flower-beds! By the third act there are more corpses than live members left in the cast.
Cost: £7 adult tickets, £5.50 children (£6 and £4.50 before March 1st)
