Three classic ghost stories - live on stage!
Vengeful spirits, murderous revenants and gruesome promises kept from beyond the grave - every horror imaginable is conjured in this uniquely terrifying experience. Nightmares is a gothic show that will leave you quaking in your seat… and dying for more.
Performed by one of UK Theatre’s most riveting storytellers, the show features three of the most spine-tingling tales ever written - The Judge’s House by Bram Stoker, The Kit-Bag by Algernon Blackwood and John Charrington’s Wedding by E Nesbit.
These pleasing terrors are brought to you by The Book of Darkness & Light, who have toured the length and breadth of the country with their unique brand of ghost story theatre for the past eight years.
