CURRENT AND FUTURE PRODUCTIONS :

Autumn 2009 Large Scale Tour:

Rumpus Theatre Company

in association with

The Pomegranate Theatre Chesterfield

present

a spine-chilling new play by John Goodrum based on

Charles Dickens' classic Ghost story

THE SIGNALMAN

With Keith Drinkel (Coronation Street, Doctor Who)

as The Signalman

and

Mark Homer (Eastenders)

as The Young Man

In this eerie new version of Charles Dickens’ classic Victorian ghost story, a terrified signalman unburdens himself to the young student who chances upon his railway cutting. He tells a chilling tale of the spectre that haunts him, and the terrible disasters that follow each appearance...but what horror is the ghost trying to warn of this time? And is the young man’s visit quite so innocent as it at first appears?

"deserves to join the ranks of stage shows that really send a shiver up the spine" (Windsor Express) 

"I swear I felt the draught as the train rushed past, and my head rang as the engine shrieked away out of the back of the auditorium" (The Times)

Autumn 2009 small/medium scale tour:

Edgar Allen Poe's

THE HORRIFIC CASE OF MR VALDEMAR

A macabre, mesmerizing mystery
from the master of the modern horror story

A new play by Richard Layton

A stage hypnotist is intrigued to know whether the effects of his art can be
experienced beyond the grave. When he meets Mr Valdemar, a man with only
a short while to live, he imagines he’s found the perfect guinea pig...but when
sex and money intervene, the results are predictably...and deliciously...horrific!

Rumpus’ production of Edgar Allen Poe’s classic tale THE PIT AND THE PENDULUM
in 2000 was "adapted and directed with nothing less than genius" ( Wimbledon
Borough News) while THE RIPPER FILES! in Autumn 2007 was "magnificent...this
unusual who-dunnit gripped like steel...I literally jumped out of my seat" (Thanet
Gazette).  DRACULA’S GUEST! - our latest production in Autumn 2008 – had “a
brilliant final-scene twist that left the first-night audience gasping” (Derbyshire
Times).

Sit back, relax and be scared in the chillingly safe hands of Rumpus
Theatre Company...
"masters of the high audience appeal production" (Times)

TAKE A TRIP WITH US...BEYOND THE GRAVE!

MR G & MR S

OR TOPSY-TURVEY AND TUM-TI-TUM 

In this light hearted new play WS Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan entertain us as we watch
them work together on their hugely popular comic operettas ... with varying amount of
harmony and discord, both between themselves, and also the actors, who first performed
the delightful results of their inspired, fiery collaboration.
