ITS 'every father's nightmare' at The Mart Theatre this week as the Skipton Musical Theatre Company prepares to set pulses racing with the Addams Family Musical.

Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family – a man her parents have never met.

And if that was not upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother.

Now, Gomez Addams must do something he has never done before – to keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia.

Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s ‘normal’ boyfriend and his parents. Featuring the well-loved characters from Chas Addams’s cartoons and the 1960’s Black and White TV series, Morticia, Gomez, Uncle Fester, Grandma, Wednesday, Pugsley and Lurch. The show at The Mart Theatre Skipton runs nightly from Thursday October, 25 to Saturday, October, 27, at 7.15pm with a matinee on Saturday at 2.15pm. Tickets at £14 adults and £12 concessions, from the Skipton Mart Theatre website: themarttheatre.org.uk
