About Ghouls Aloud
Elysium is a satirical ghost story with original live music from Ghouls Aloud, performed at Ruby. Artists Milly Blue and Jessie Maryon Davies follow a couple who are the newest residents of Elysium Court, a suburban development where perfect lives unravel. When the woman pulls up the standard-issue astroturf during her maternity leave, their haven turns to hell. The show blends dark comedy, moody melodies and horror in a 60-minute production suitable for ages 14 and over.
Why see this show?
A ghost story told through original music about the seductive horror of suburban perfection. Ghouls Aloud bring dark wit and genuine dread to a slice of contemporary life that will feel uncomfortably familiar.
