"This is not [your traditional] ghost story and there seems to be no  reason why any of it should have happened. But that is no reason why it  should not be told..."

Edith Nesbit, creator of "The Railway Children" and "Five Children and  It", invites you into her parlour, as she recounts some of her  unsettling horror stories which have long been overlooked in favour of  her male contempories.  

Featuring an all female cast, and including magic lanterns, eerie  soundscapes, and stylised presentations popular at the time of her  writings, this show presents an adaptation of "The Shadow", a ghost  story of lost love and longing, and "In the Dark", a terrifying paranoid  confession of a (accidental?) murderer, along with real-life terrors  from Nesbit's life.  

An anthology hosted by Edith Nesbit, the show will also touch upon the  authors own thoughts on the macabre as she records her tales of terror,  her memories, and her fears to wax cylinder in this new work from Oliver  Giggins, creator of multiple EHF Sell-Out theatre shows, and award  winning director and magician Ash Pryce.
