This May, the team behind the “gloriously spine-tingling” (The Stage) Goosebumps ALIVE will also be premiering a separate immersive promenade style theatre production aimed at children (aged 5-11) – Goosebumps Kids. This multi-sensory, immersive and interactive world, based on RL Stine's phenomenally popular 1990s children’s book series, will be brought to life at award-winning arts venue The Waterloo Vaults.
Written and directed by children’s theatre stalwart Rob Watt (Orange Tree Theatre), plus design from Samuel Wyer (Alice’s Adventures Underground), scenes from some of Stine’s most iconic creations – including Stay Out of The Basement, Night of The Living Dummy and Say Cheese and Die! – will be given an exhilarating modern twist, especially for children.
Set in Professor Molloy’s world-renowned Museum of the Weird, the audience will be introduced to a plethora of strange and wonderful exhibits that are made all the more hair-raising when they start to come to life.... Can you help the petrified museum attendants stop the monsters from taking over? The audience can expect to discover a typewriter where everything that’s typed becomes real, an evil haunted mask, a camera that takes pictures of the future, an ancient scarecrow that comes to life, a giant pink blob that eats everything and a body-squeezing alien!
Featuring an array of unforgettable effects (including special artwork from the original book jacket illustrator Tim Jacobus), by “framing the Goosebumps stories as exhibits, we’ve created an environment where youngsters can encounter their deepest, darkest fears... but at a safe distance…” Rob Watt, Writer/Director of Goosebumps KIDS.
