The House

“Screamingly funny”  Asker Culture House, Oslo

The House tells the story of the Warehouse Family Funeral Home. On her deathbed, the undertaker changes her last will and testament,  a secret begins to unravel and an evil plan is formed. Sofie Krog and David Faraco lead you behind closed doors and into rooms which hide unspeakably dark deeds.

This complex and darkly hilarious puppet performance takes place in a revolving set featuring intricate lighting, strange contraptions and scary sound effects; the perfect setting for this comically chilling journey. Having performed hundreds of times to acclaim across Europe, we are delighted to welcome this puppetry classic for its Scottish premiere.
