Odd Doll - Seaside Terror
by Little Mighty, comedy
It's Holiday Season. The Season of Terror!
about the production
odd Doll take a trip to the seaside, where they find more than they bargained for. The only other inhabitant of the dilapidated pier is a rather sinister ice cream man. And he’s got some very strange stories to tell... His mind-boggling collection of hysterical horrors includes Evil Seagulls Zombie Donkeys, and Bingo Hairballs. But will anyone who experiences it live to describe it? Stuffed with fun frights and ice cream chills, Seaside Terror is a celebration of the British horror and British holidays of the 1970s. Funny, nostalgic and visually stunning,

"Witty and inventive...Genuinely unnerving."
"Imaginative, witty and indeed spooky!"
"Dextrous and inventive... there are lashings of laughs, a light-heartedness masking a darker intent and an abundance of ingenuity... There's too much to love about this show not to whole-heartedly recommend it."
