THE CIRCUS
OF HORRORS
THE NIGHT OF THE ZOMBIE
The first circus to appear in
the West End in a hundred
years, The Circus of Horrors
is celebrating its twentieth
anniversary with a brand new
show, The Night of the
Zombie. Set in 2020 in a
decrepit and corpse-ridden
London, plagued by a swamp
of zombies. The story twists
and turns with grisly murders
and sensational shocks, all
interwoven with some of the
most bizarre circus acts on
earth: sword swallowers, a
demon dwarf, a Guinness
World Record holding
‘hairculian’ hair hanging
beauty and much more.

and wand away into the night. A helpful dog, bird and frog
find the witch’s lost things and all hop on the broom for a
ride. But this broomstick’s not meant for five and – CRACK! it snaps in two!
When a hungry dragon appears, who will save the poor witch?
And will there ever be room on the broom for everyone?

It’s 1963, and the world is changing. Bobby and Laura’s single DREAMBOATS AND
PETTICOATS has not taken off. Norman and Sue have settled down to non-marital bliss –
and a baby! But Ray and Donna seem blissfully happy…
The advent of the Beatles and the Merseyside sound is inspirational.
But will it inspire Bobby and Laura to have one more shot at stardom – Norman to
“get off the drains” and find that singing voice he has longed for, and Ray to realise his
ambition and manage a really top pop act!?
All will be revealed in a follow up with the same wit, charm, and great songs as
DREAMBOATS AND PETTICOATS. Many of the songs are from the next period in pop history…
