Shop of Little Horrors Review

Shop of Little Horrors
Pickled Image
Bath Spa University Theatre



Horrifyingly brilliant? Or hilariously disturbing? All words I did not think I'd be using to describe a performance in a POSITIVE way. I spent half of the show wrapped around my friend for security like Scooby Doo and Shaggy when seeing a m-m-m-monster! Pickled Image really excelled themselves in this comical twisted tale. My previous encounters with puppetry performances were lacking, the most memorable one being Avenue Q (how do you live up to that expectation?) but I was far from disappointed. I do not know how they managed to make us feel sorry for and root for a psychopath! Its an achievement and a wonder in its self!  An amazing piece of comedy that I would definitely recommend going to see. 

My Acting Student Notes:
Another performance proving the more skills and training you acquire the better. Puppets are awesome!
