Rev Dr Donald Omand always knew he was different. Born in Perth in 1903, he claimed to have inherited 'a psychic awareness' from his mother. That sense of another realm would lead him to become an ordained Church of England Vicar. Yet he was never destined for the quiet parish life. He became an exorcist who was soon in demand across the world. Gaining prominence in the 1970s, he delivered the possessed from demons and even vampirism, yet only a third of his exorcisms involved people; the rest saw him casting out spirits from objects and so-called 'malignant zones’ like car crash sites and supernatural hotspots - including Loch Ness and The Bermuda Triangle.

Think the life of a Church of England Vicar is boring? Think again, as Rev Peter Laws shares the head-spinning ministry of Rev Donald Omand.

Tickets £12 including a delightful gin cocktail and a 20% donation to the King's Chaplaincy Trust.

    As a London Month of the Dead regular, I was chuffed to have an event around Christmas. The performance was fantastic and the atmosphere was perfect!

    We were a little disappointed that we were unable to hear Casting the Runes. The other stories were fun though, especially the Judge’s House. How could it go wrong with Bram Stocker in charge!
