Based upon The Addams Family characters created by Charles Addams in his single-panel gag cartoons which depict a ghoulish American family with an affinity for all things macabre. Performed at the Isle of Man Gaiety Theatre from 12th – 19th October 2019. 

In the kooky, upside-down world of the Addams Family, to be sad is to be happy, to feel pain is to feel joy, and death and suffering are the stuff of dreams. The family have lived by their unique values for hundreds of years and Gomez and Morticia, the patriarch and matriarch of the clan, would be only too happy to continue living that way.

 However, their daughter Wednesday, the ultimate princess of darkness, is now an eighteen year old woman and has fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family – a most un-Addams like person! To make matters worse, she has invited his whole family to their home for dinner. 

In one fateful, hilarious night, secrets are disclosed, relationships are tested, and the Addams family must face up to the one horrible thing they’ve managed to avoid for generations: change.

“The Gaiety Theatre in Douglas was the setting for the show and was beautifully presented and well decorated in keeping with the show with effective lighting and cobwebs, etc. 

The lead and supporting actors in this performance really did put on a tremendous show. Not to be outdone, the supporting cast of dancers, ancestors and other children throughout the show was absolutely fantastic. There wasn’t a single weak link in this cast and I was amazed at the level of professionalism that was shown throughout this whole performance. 

I had heard of the productions on the island being of a high-quality, but until watching this performance, I didn’t realise how good they really were.”
