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.T01252777235Edward Gorey’s humorous and sinister tale of adolescence and mayhem is now brought to life by award-winning theatre company Hoipolloi, best known at the New Wolsey for their work with Hugh Hughes.
