A ghost infestation, a zombie butler, and a severed hand? Haslemere Hall might need to call in the cleaners – and alert the town council – because the world’s most ghoulish family has arrived and taken centre stage.

Yes, you know them, you love them, and now you’re invited to dinner with The Addams Family.

From the very first snap of the fingers, we’re drawn into the world of Gomez, Morticia, Wednesday, Pugsley, and the rest of the clan as they navigate the age-old challenges of love, family, and, of course, the supernatural (because don’t we all have a witchy in-law or two?).

When Wednesday falls in love with Lucas and invites his ‘normal’ parents over, tensions run high, threatening to tear the Addams family apart – and not in the way they like. Because what’s scarier to an Addams than horror? A love story.

The show is packed with laughs, catchy musical numbers, and cleverly executed staging. Ricky J. Dyer (Gomez) stands-out as the encumbered father and husband, while always retaining that classic Gomez charm. Dawn Stephens brings Morticia to life – even if her character would prefer death, and Beatriz Jennings wows with her impressive vocals as Wednesday.

Conner Handstock plays a truly crazy Uncle Fester, who despite falling in love with the moon is somehow the play’s sanest character.

The ‘regular’ Beineke family give the Addams’ a run for their money, with Chloe Johnson-Jones a personal favourite as Alice Beineke. But the entire cast shines brightly – and darkly – in their roles, making this a fantastic opportunity to see a top-notch production at a very reasonable price.

This comedy musical at Haslemere Hall is a reminder of why audiences never tire of The Addams Family – click click. The play will run at Haslemere Hall until Saturday, November 2. Get your tickets now at tinyurl.com/haslemerehalladdamsfamily
