Come face-to-face with terror…

One lamp-lit storyteller, two ghostly tales and nothing else but the infinite horrors of the surrounding darkness. To celebrate a decade of making ghost story theatre, The Book of Darkness & Light present two of their most terrifying tales from the past ten years in this intimate and spellbinding solo show.

In "The Bonehouse", historian Archie Witt takes a research trip to investigate the fabled roundhouse lock-up in Abbot’s Knock, a village marred by witch trials, a wicked 17th-century magistrate and an ancient evil that may haunt the place still.

In "A Horror in Porcelain", eccentric millionaire Delaney acquires a notorious antique doll for his collection… only to stumble upon a haunting history that will catch up with him in the most horrifying way imaginable.

Brought to life by master of the macabre Adam Z. Robinson, Darkness & Light is a uniquely enthralling show that will have you on the edge of your seat throughout… and haunt you long after the final words are spoken.

Join us, if you dare, for this spine-chilling storytelling experience.

    Great Musical accompaniment to eerie Silent films. Stephen Horne played various instruments perfectly to accompany the films. He really is a talented performer and set the mood well. The presenter Bryony Dixon introduced the films well but either the sound was too low or her voice is too soft, I couldn't really hear all of what she was saying sadly. Otherwise a great spooky evenings entertainment.

    We should have been informed about the lack of toilets when booking the event, as I have a hidden disability. Also could be told to bring a cushion for the pews as very uncomfortable. No tour of the crypt offered, but this was stated on the blurb of the month of the dead website.
