“I was thoroughly engrossed – what a clever, funny, edgy piece!”
Tessa Mendel, Artistic Director, Halifax Theatre for Young People

Eight terrible stories spring from the fertile imaginations two little good-for-nothings who refuse to go to bed. Spooking each other, they make up creepy, fun-filled stories, test boundaries, and explore what’s real and what’s not. Nominated for the 2015 French Language Governor Generals Awards.

Cast:
Corina Akeson*, Leanna Brodie*, Art Kitching* & Anthony Santiago*
