A duo of supernatural horror tales exploring scepticism, murder and the nature of fear itself.
Told by one actor using music, sound and artful storytelling in the beautifully atmospheric environment of Leicester Guildhall. Let these tense, gripping and often darkly funny tales whisk you away
First, to the dark and shadowy recesses of H G Wells Red Room, where you will question the very nature of fear. Could you spend the night in the infamous haunted chamber of Lorraine Castle? Armed with a single torch, our sceptical narrator attempts to do just that. Ignoring the warnings of its three eerie custodians, she soon learns for herself why the room has such a dark reputation... and the grim fates which befell previous occupants. Guaranteed to send chills down your spine and stir your imagination.
Then, travel to the storied and mysterious landscape of the Peak District, where a new dark folk-horror story will chill your blood. Respect Tom Hiccup and he'll leave you alone. Anger him and who knows what may happen. The old spirits are like that. But sometimes, the indifference of Nature becomes a force for justice. When a man commits the ultimate act of cowardice and a woman's spirit is left seeking revenge, balance must be restored.
Perfect for lovers of A Ghost Story for Christmas or Tales of the Unexpected.
