Description

Madcap, inventive and really good fun, Gonzo Moose return to Leek after their success with "Once Upon a Time", based on th Brothers Grimm tales.

Inspired by gothic horror movie classics of the 1930'S, IS THAT A BOLT IN YOUR NECK? is a fast-paced, rollicking ride mixing spooky paranoia, surreal nightmare and frantic farce. Suitable for audiences from ages 8 to 80, the show is packed full of hilarious slapstick, verbal wit, and magical illusion.

IS THAT A BOLT IN YOUR NECK? is the acclaimed physical comedy show from new generation British visual and physical theatre company, GONZO MOOSE.

As lightening flashes across the sky, the rugged silhouette of an old dark castle looms into view. Lost in a storm, this seems like the only possible refuge - but what happens when you hear mysterious moaning in the middle of the night? Behind every door lurks unimaginable horror.... Inside, Dr Chekhov, the brilliant and reclusive scientist, works in secret. As the villagers prepare for Christmas they become increasingly alarmed. Strange shadows can be seen at the castle windows, and every night blood curdling cries of pain can be heard. What is Dr Chekhov doing? What hideous experiments is he perpetrating? What unimaginable horror might emerge from his laboratory? And will any of it spoil Christmas?

With comedy and thrills galore you'll gasp, laugh and be amazed at the horrific experiments, the mind-boggling love, and the sensational death-defying finale. This wonderfully inventive and gripping comedy horror features three fearless actors, playing 20 roles in 75 minutes of fast-paced fun and thrilling action.
