As the bombs fall over
London and the blackout descends, a small group of strangers take
refuge inside a lonely chapel. Welcomed by the hall warden while
the storm rages outside, they settle in to pass the long hours by
sharing ghost stories. But as each tale unfolds, of cursed objects,
haunted landscapes, restless spirits and forbidden knowledge, it
becomes increasingly clear that these mysterious storytellers may
have secrets of their own.
Presented by the Offie and Broadway World Award-nominated Midnight
Circle Productions, Ghost Stories of an Antiquary is a richly
atmospheric theatrical adaptation inspired by the classic
supernatural fiction of M. R. James, the undisputed master of the
English ghost story. Combining period storytelling, haunting
performances and an immersive wartime setting, this chilling
production brings together four of James’s finest tales: Oh,
Whistle, and I’ll Come to You, My Lad, Lost Hearts, The Ash-tree
and The Mezzotint. Join us by candlelight for an evening of classic
ghost stories where the line between fiction and reality slowly
begins to dissolve.
Tickets £20 including a delightful gin cocktail and a 20% donation to the Kings Chaplaincy Trust.
