Hoipolloi and the Theatre Royal Plymouth in association with ETT and Watford Palace Theatre

The Doubtful Guest

Inspired by the Book by Edward Gorey
Written and directed by Shôn Dale-Jones

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 seemingly 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 yet sneakily sinister tale of adolescence and mayhem is now brought to life by award-winning theatre company Hoipolloi.

Discover this delightfully dark and conveniently curious comedy for anyone who is (or knows!) a mischievous misfit.

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.
