Theatre bastards - The new class

Went to see Jakop Ahlbom’s ‘Horror’ at The Peacock Theatre at the weekend. Lovely stuff - amazing lighting, sound and general stagecraft. Was expecting it maybe to be slightly more scary, especially having seen Ghost Stories a couple of years back, but the humour, physicality of the performances and references to numerous classic horror flicks more than made up for it. In particular, great use of Crazy Horses as the soundtrack to the final showdown.

It’s finishing this week, but I believe this is its second run, so well worth catching if it comes around again…
