SQUASHBOX THEATRE PUTS ON A SPECIAL HALLOWEEN SHOW FOR KIDS AT THE HEARTLANDS CULTURAL ATTRACTION AND EVENTS HUB NEAR REDRUTH ON FRIDAY 27 OCTOBER 2023. PREPARE TO SHIVER, SHAKE, SHUDDER AND SCREAM…
At Halloween, things often go bump in the night. But at the Heartlands events hub near Redruth on Friday 27 October 2023, things are going to go bump during the day. Specifically between 1pm and 2pm, to be precise. Because that’s the witching hour when Squashbox Theatre makes kids and families ‘shiver, shake, shudder and scream’!
There are plenty of events taking place across Cornwall for Halloween 2023 that are suitable for kids and families, however this Squashbox Theatre puppet show is a little bit different. The story focuses on Craig, a friendly host who has inherited a spooky mansion from his Great Uncle Vladimir. Young visitors will join Craig as he explores the massive building and meets its bizarre, creepy inhabitants.
Eerie shapes. Ghouls and spectres. A mysterious creature that lives in the cellar. The show should have it all. It’s billed as ‘an overflowing cauldron of a show’ that’s brimming with ‘delightful frights and hilarious horrors’, showing how much Cornwall’s Squashbox Theatre combines comedy with kid-focused drama.
Expect incredible puppetry, scary stories, live music and songs, and ‘a sprinkling of slapstick and silliness’ at Squashbox Theatre: Shivers and Shadows 2023 at Heartlands. Also expect a few jump scares and a ‘spooky atmosphere’ but it’s all obviously kid-friendly and plenty of fun for all the family over an hour.
Squashbox is run by Craig Johnson from Penzance. He is a puppeteer, musician and actor, and he has been putting on innovative puppet and storytelling shows for kids and families for years now. He says his aim with Squashbox is to make shows that are ‘funny, friendly, surprising, inspiring, unusual, informative and a little bit mischievous’.
The show should be a great fit for the Heartlands cultural attraction in Pool, near Redruth, which traditionally puts on an event or two for Halloween every year. And Halloween 2023 in Cornwall is no different. So book your tickets now by clicking on the ‘website’ link above. And then prepare for a hilariously spooky show that all the family can enjoy just before the night of unspeakable horrors. Mwah hahaha…
