Unravel the secrets and mystery behind horror theatre with Thunder Road, the creators of the “inescapable” ghost story Shock Horror.

This workshop:

  • Uncovers the devices and techniques used to create suspense and tension within horror storytelling

  • Integrates puppetry into the mix with an intensive session manipulating human-sized objects

  • Promotes the physical confidence your students need to be brave and bold with the material they are making

  • Enables students to put all they’ve learned into practice to produce their very own short horror story

  • Offers your students further insight into how to shape horror and puppetry for any future devised performances

  • Led by multi-award-winning performer & National Theatre (WarHorse) puppeteer

“The whole day was amazing! Really insightful, really engaging. I learnt so much about puppetry and horror in theatre”

— Lily, Thomas Hardye School
