😱 Shock Horror - Grove Theatre, Dunstable


Time: 19:30 - 21:30

😱 Shock Horror: A Ghost Story
 A nightmare is about to break free…


▪️AGE: 12+
12+ contains some strong language, disturbing images and scenes of horror. This production contains haze, smoke, flashing lights, loud and high-pitched noises.

👀 ABOUT
Herbert grew up in the Metropol. The eerie old cinema was his playground and prison – a place where endless late-night horror films were his only window to the world.

Forbidden from leaving by his disturbed parents, Herbert hid in its shadows and gorged on its movies. But what lurked in the Metropol’s darkness? And how did he manage to escape?

Now Herbert’s back at the abandoned cinema, searching for answers to long-buried questions. But for him, and for you, the real horror has only just begun…

Inspired by classic theatre ghost stories and cinema’s greatest frights, Shock Horror is a chilling journey into a haunted past. Combining live performance and big-screen action, it’s full of shivers, shrieks and shocking revelations.

Because we love a good horror film, don’t we? Until we realise we’re all alone in the dark...

★★★★★
‘Brilliantly combining live performance, illusion and film’
