Based on The New Yorkermagazine, single-panel comic series by Charles Addams, the show takes place in the Addams’ crumbling old Central Park mansion, alive with dark shadows and generations of dearly departed ancestors who simply won’t depart. When teenage daughter, Wednesday, invites her new boyfriend and his painfully “normal” parents to dinner, what could possibly go wrong?
Quite a bit.
As the boyfriend’s tidy, conventional family steps into the Addams’ gloriously morbid world, tensions rise faster than a ghost through the ceiling. Personality clashes spark chaos, dinner threatens disaster, and the evening takes a shocking turn when it becomes known that the young couple are engaged to be married.
Cue the mayhem.
Between the devotedly macabre and tango-dancing Morticia and Gomez Addams – along with their intense teenage children, an eccentric Uncle Fester, a 102-year-old grandmother (who may have outlived reason itself) and a hulking, chiseled butler named Lurch who speaks only in heartfelt grunts and groans – the stage is set for comic catastrophe. But in a good way!
And yet—through zombie ancestors, slapstick torture, and morbid humor — love finds a way. By the show’s end, both families discover that “normal” is relative… and that love conquers even the most haunted hearts.
Performances will run Aug. 4-9 at the Annisquam Village Hall, 34 Leonard St., Gloucester. Tickets go on sale in July. For more information, visit online at www.AnnisquamVillagePlayers.com. It’s going to be a great show!
