MEDIA RELEASE COURTESY OF: UNITY PRESS THEATRE

After the sell out success of The Snow Queen at unitytheatre during Christmas 2009, creepy local theatre company Ullaloom return with Spooky Tales on Saturday 27 Mar at 11am & 2.30pm.

Ullaloom are a dynamic and exciting Liverpool-based company with a penchant for the dark, the mysterious and the macabre and Spooky Tales is no exception. Transforming unity2 into their scary lair, Edward and Martha Creep invite you and all of yours…who are brave enough to hear the scariest, spookiest tales there are in this unseasonal scarefest for one day only.

Do you like to hear of witches, banshees and mysterious goings on? Do you thrill to tales of terror and spike tingling spookiness? You do?! Well, in that case, Spooky Tales is for you!

You may gasp, you may gawp, you may ask mummy and daddy to leave the bedroom light on… but you’re guaranteed a ghoulishly great time at the theatre with this collection of putridly performed short stories. Oh Do say you’ll come, the Creeps are dying to meet you!

Only for brave little...brats aged 9+

Ullaloom Theatre Company was founded in March 2001 by five participants of the unique and now sadly defunct Hope St Physical Theatre Programme. Our first show was a promenade adaptation of a Grand Guignol story by Maurice Level, called; 'Night and Silence'. Following the success of this, the company quickly realised the potential of theatrical horror, and the surprising lack of it in today's theatres.

Ullaloom are inspired by a number of sources, including the Grand Guignol, the catharsis of Artaud's theatre of cruelty and the alienation of Brecht.

Our work is committed to exploring the shared experience of actor and audience. We believe that it is this special relationship that gives theatre its Magick, and the potential to become a truly powerful, and affecting medium.

Ullaloom has also written and performed for BBC Radio Merseyside, with 'Radio Macabre' a serial dramatisation of our earlier work. We have also had the honour of performing for Royalty, although not (unfortunately) with any Satanic, soul snatching antics!

Ullaloom are supported in kind by Hope St Ltd who provide office and rehearsal space and invaluable business advice. For more info on Hope St and the great things they do, follow this link: www.hope-street.org

We have also enjoyed continued support from the Unity Theatre Liverpool, and regularly receive arts council funding.
