This event has ended.

Performed by GERARD LOGAN
Olivier Nominee & Winner of The Stage Newspaper's 'Best Solo Performer of the 2011 Edinburgh Festival' Award

Directed by GARETH ARMSTRONG
Music by SIMON SLATER
 
Hauntings is a spellbinding evening of three tales of the supernatural from two of the world’s greatest writers of ghost stories, E.F. Benson and M.R. James.

From E.F. BENSONcomes:

  • Naboth’s Vineyard - in which just desserts are meted out to an unscrupulous lawyer.
  • The Hanging of Alfred Wadham - in which the forces of the devil test a man of faith to his limits.

From the acknowledged master of the ghost story genre, M.R. JAMEScomes:

  • Oh, Whistle and I’ll Come to You, My Lad - in which a medieval spirit strikes terrorizes an arrogant professor.


With masterful storytelling from the award-winning actor Gerard Logan, Hauntings will transport you to a world of invisible, but terrifyingly present, spirits.
