Performer Name: Gavin Robertson

Show Name: THE GOOSEBUMPS OF DELIGHT

Show Description

Our SEQUEL to THE GHOST OF A SMILE... Suitable for pre-Halloween onwards and definitely as an alternative to A CHRISTMAS CAROL (of which there are many productions) around Christmas programming, a further two of Charles Dickens' ghost stories, but with a comic element- adapted from his original stories (‘The Baron of Gogzwig’ and ‘The Goblins Who Stole A Sexton’). Now I mention A CHRISTMAS CAROL deliberately because our second tale was Dickens’ own inspiration for its better-known cousin! The themes of redemption and humility are all there – but funnier! Physical theatre/storytelling... Adapted & Directed by Gavin Robertson Performed by Nicholas Collett
