SUMMARY:I Hear Voices Theatre Company presents… A Ghost Story for Christmas – "The Wrong Doctor"
DESCRIPTION:Tickets £10/£8 concs\nDoors 7.30pm\, show 8pm\nThis show is for a seated audience\n\nI Hear Voices Theatre Company return for their now traditional (and extremely silly) evening of unquiet nonsense in a tale of mystery inspired (in part) by M.R. James and other writers of the incredible… \n\nMedievalist\, antiquary and genial fear monger\, Montague Roads Jim\, is poised to exhume another Ghost Story for Christmas\, but wait – the cosy familiarity of his Cambridge festive ritual is about to be rudely shattered by the unexpected arrival of two guest Story Tellers; in the form of a pair of spaced out and temporally dislodged Punk Poets\, from Wivenhoe… \n\nWhat links a hellish hotel room in Denmark\, a Royal Institution Lecture gone horrible wrong and a Viennese scientist with the naughtiest legs in Temporal Physics? \nCan Mervin Mule prevent two iterations of Brian Cox explosively cancelling each other out?\nWill Milly Bunt finally discover the super position of Kitty Schrödinger?\nCould Don Fletcher Park actually save the day with a filthy limerick and a cup of sugar\, or will he just turn out to be the Wrong Doctor… \n\nThe answers to these\, and other questions you didn’t know you needed an answer to\, will be resolved in this singularly bonkers festive crossover between I Hear Voices Theatre Company’s two popular series. So pour yourselves a glass of sherry and settle back to enjoy a brand new “timey-wimey\, spacey-wacey” tale of satanic shenanigans\, missing scientists\, and recursive chronologies\, with the usual extra helping of festive cobblers\, plus Donny and Mervin thrown in for good measure!\n\nWritten and Directed by Darren Gooding \nPerformed by Damien Bell\, Darren Gooding\, Dave Hughes & Sarah Ellen Young \nMusic by Darren Tansley and Tina Gooding \nSound Recording and Editing by Stuart Armitage
