Hauntings
An evening of three extraordinary, chilling ghost stories by M.R. James and E.F. Benson
After a sell-out runs at the 2011, 2015 and 2016 Edinburgh Festivals and, subsequently, throughout the UK with the award-winning shows The Rape of Lucrece, Wilde Without the Boy / The Ballad of Reading Gaol and, most recently, Night Terrors Gerard Logan (Olivier Nominee – RSC) is now touring a new solo show Hauntings.
Hauntings is an 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. BENSON, famed for his Mapp and Lucia comic novels, comes, Naboth’s Vineyard - in which just desserts are meted out to an unscrupulous lawyer, and 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. JAMES, comes, Oh, Whistle and I’ll Come to You, My Lad - in which a medieval spirit strikes terrorizes an arrogant professor.
