Hide AdAndrew said: “The Addams Family features an original story, and it’s every father’s nightmare. 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 weren’t upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before – 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.”
Recent graduate from Chichester, Laura Bowler, who is working as associate producer on the production, added: “Rehearsals will be very intense with a little over two weeks to put the whole show together. The students will be working for up to 12 hours a day to complete the task.
"The creative team that the producer and I have assembled to work with the cast are immensely talented and we both feel very confident in their ability to navigate the students through this challenging process, one which we hope will be hugely rewarding.”
