Terror Is Back

Now in its eighth year, the Terror season moves to Soho Theatre’s new Downstairs cabaret space. Running for three weeks from 19th October to 5th November, Terror 2011 will play through the Hallowe'en period including a special post-show bonus cabaret on 31st October.

A blend of short horror plays and cabaret, Terror 2011 reinvents Grand Guignol for the 21st century, showcasing new writing from playwrights including Lucy Kirkwood (It Felt Empty When the Heart Went at First But It Is Alright Now and Channel 4’s Skins), award-winning screenwriter Jack Thorne (Bunny and Skins); one of Soho Theatre's Hub Writers Tom Holloway (No More Shall We Part – winner Fringe Award Best New Australian Play), Kneehigh's Carl Grose (The Dark Philosophers, Gargantua) and Fringe First winner Dave Florez, (Somewhere Beneath It All, A Small Fire Burns Still).

Cabaret turns have been written and curated by Desmond O'Connor and Sarah-Louise Young, with O’Connor and Merrill Grant from New York’s cabaret scene as hosts. The line-up of featured artistes will vary each night, with special guests already including Jonny Woo, Dusty Limits, Phil Nichol, Loretta Maine and Laura Corcoran (Frisky and Mannish).

The plays are directed by Hannah Eidinow and Matt Peover.

Terror is created by Adam Meggido, the Artistic Director of The Sticking Place and co-creator of Showstopper! The Improvised Musical alongside numerous West End projects. Design is by performance artiste and music hall vaudevillian Vicky Butterfly.

Terror is produced at the Soho by The Sticking Place and Seabringht Productions.
