Haunted Shadows: The Gothic Tales of Edith Nesbit
Haunted Shadows: The Gothic Tales of Edith Nesbit
Adapted by Claire Louise Amias and Jonathan Rigby
-An expert at chilling the spine and curdling the blood, Edith Nesbit relates three of her best Gothic tales while recalling her own childhood terrors.
A dazzling display of versatility … a must-see
In The Shadow, a repressed housekeeper encounters an abominable entity, while in The Pavilion the shadow of a long-dead necromancer envelops a social gathering. Finally, a deranged young woman harbours a deadly secret in a rediscovered story called A Strange Experience.
Frightening … Amias plays Nesbit brilliantly
Following the success of The Masks of Aphra Behn, Claire Louise Amias returns, receiving a Hamilton Deane Award nomination for her gripping insight into the darker side of Edith Nesbit, author of The Railway Children. Renowned horror expert Jonathan Rigby directs this chilling one-woman show.
Deliciously creepy … Highly recommended
