Granny Eyeball set to terrorise Exeter!

Granny Eyeball doesn’t like people. Generally speaking, people don’t like her back. Actually, they're not too keen on her front, sides or top either. And definitely not her bottom!

Mad, bad OAP Granny Eyeball is set to terrorise audiences this summer. The geriatric grouch, whose hobbies include making complaints, hunting red squirrels and papier machete, will be hoping to make theatre goers quake in fear at Exeter's most exciting theatre venue, the Bike Shed Theatre (5 – 15 August 2015).

Following the adventures of the UK’s most unpleasant pensioner and featuring singing dinner ladies, thrilling heists and white knuckle car chases, Wandering Tiger’s latest stage show Granny Eyeball is set to delight audiences young (6+) and old!
Created by Charlie Coldfield (Edgar and the Land of Lost) and Luke Jeffery (Seeing Red), and starring Jane Bennett (Nuts and Volts) and Magda Cassidy (Squiffy Cabaret) - Granny Eyeball is your must see show for summer 2015!

Granny Eyeball co-creator Charlie Coldfield shares his motivation for this new play and cites real life childhood characters as inspiration. “It's funny to look back and recall the local characters we encountered as children, the strange house with the overgrown garden, the red faced man with the shopping trolley who shouted at us on the way home from school, the grizzly old lady who muttered whilst glaring at us, the one eyed dog who rampaged through the school playground!

We dealt with them all in the same way - we gave them a funny name, laughed and ran like the wind. That's how the idea for Granny Eyeball came about, a mean old lady who everybody knows without really knowing her at all.”

Granny Eyeball takes these experiences one step further, added Charlie: “What if you were unlucky enough to be adopted by such a character? How would you survive? How would you escape? That's the predicament we find our heroine Joanna in at the start of the show. We hope the kids and adults who see the show recognise Granny Eyeball - they may know her by another name. Of course, she's only scary if you let her be!”

Granny Eyeball already got very grumpy with children at Exmouth Library at the end of July, she will now be getting even more grouchy from Wednesday 5 – Saturday 15 August at The Bike Shed Theatre, Exeter. Festival goers can also get acquainted with Granny Eyeball at this year's Beautiful Days festival at Escot Park in East Devon Friday 21 – Sunday 23 August 2015.
