The Doubtful Guest

Hoipolloi and the Theatre Royal Plymouth in association with English Touring Theatre and Watford Palace Theatre
Inspired by the Book by Edward Gorey

It came seventeen years ago – and to this day, it has shown no intention of going away…

When an uninvited and strangely fantastical creature finds its way into a very normal household, its pure existence wreaks havoc. As it challenges their strict routines and descends the family into chaos, they search desperately for ways of dealing with the peculiar behaviour of their doubtful guest.

Edward Gorey’s humorous and sinister tale of adolescence and mayhem is now brought to life by award-winning theatre company Hoipolloi.

Beautifully comic, delightfully dark and full of theatrical invention, this show will appeal to adults, children and mischievous misfits of all ages.

Produced by arrangement with The Edward Gorey Charitable Trust. Supported by Arts Council England with thanks to the Meridian Theatre Awards in association with Interact.
