A Nightmare on Lime Street

Synopsis

It's midnight on Lime St, it's dark and it's foggy. Suddenly you hear the sound of chains being slowly dragged along the floor, and from out of the fog emerges a dark sinister figure. As he shuffles past The Big House people are running in panic. Is it Dr. Frankenstein's Monster? Is it Count Dracula? Is it The Werewolf? Or is it Jack the Ripper out for a quick slash? Well to be honest it could be any one of them, or even all of them because this is no ordinary horror story, this is the Royal Court's 2012 Christmas show, and if you've seen the last three year's shows you'll know that ANYTHING can happen!

The jokes are constant and were always delivered with true enthusiasm as well as all songs lifting the show further. Jamie Hampson, ...
