Tales of Terror

based on original commissions by Richard Hawley for the Lichfield Festival and by Chris Tuckley for York Archaeological Trust

featuring the stories of M R James and Lafcadio Hearn, Edgar Allan Poe and Louisa Baldwin

Welcome to the quietly sinister world of the ghost story… Take a trip to the hotel where withered hands shoot out of darkened doorways to snatch at passers-by, where rickety scarecrows lie chained to iron beds, and where unpleasant surprises lurk amongst the leaves at the bottom of a cup of tea…

Pop into the charming antique shops where old paintings and dolls’ houses can suddenly come to life… Or leaf through dusty books filled with shockingly lifelike pictures of hideous creatures, and with locks of hair pasted between the pages…

Walk through rose gardens and yew mazes where you may catch fleeting glimpses of their nightmarish inhabitants. But if you find buried crowns and broken whistles down on the beach, leave them well alone. They have probably been left there for a very good reason…

Join us for an intimate evening of gentle chills and pleasing terrors from some acknowledged masters of the macabre.
