Feb 25 2010 by Mari Jones, North Wales Weekly News

THE Circus of Horrors returns to Venue Cymru with its rocking and shocking brand new show The Day of the Dead on Sunday, February 28.

Set inŠMexico during the early 1900s, the cast of chaos mongers transport the body of their doyen Dr Haze to a remote area of Mexico.

Unbeknown to them they settled in a former burial ground of Aztec Warriors. There they join the local inhabitants’ Day of the Dead rituals to try and revive their esteemed leader. All of course with disastrous consequences.

A blend of rock, horror and mayhem awaits – this is a musical extravaganza that shocks the senses, with a stage full of ‘freaks’, acrobats and contortionists, all looked over and kept in chaos by the sinister and dastardly creator of it all, Doktor Haze.

Set against the backdrop of an old ruined Aztec temple, witch-doctors, voodoo acrobats, pickled people, bendy bodies, demon dwarfs, and flying chained vampires erupt from tanks of blood to perform their amazing blood curdling stunts.

The Circus of Horrors has toured the world relentlessly into aŠstaggering 15Šyears since the first trampling of the bloody boards.ŠIt has toured around the worldŠachieving cult status since then.

The Day of The Dead, Venue Cymru, February 28, 7.30pm. Tickets £12-£26 from Box Office on 01492 872000, or at www.venuecymru.co.uk Show is not suitable for children.
