The Book of Darkness & Light presents two classic tales of terror - live on stage
on Sunday the 1st November 2026 at 7:30 pm

Two classic tales of supernatural terror come chillingly to life in this unforgettable evening of live storytelling. Enter a world of restless spirits, sinister secrets and unseen horrors as acclaimed storyteller Robert Lloyd Parry transports you into two of the greatest ghost stories ever written, where every shadow conceals a mystery and nothing buried remains at rest for long.

Featuring E. F. Benson’s haunting masterpiece The Room in the Tower and Arthur Conan Doyle’s Arctic ghost story The Captain of the Polestar, this atmospheric performance is a celebration of the classic tradition of the fireside ghost story. Created by The Book of Darkness & Light, one of Britain’s leading producers of supernatural theatre, this is an evening of suspense, dread and masterful storytelling that will linger long after the lights go down.

Tickets £15 including a delightful gin cocktail and a 20% donation to the King's Chaplaincy Trust. Please click here to purchase.
