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. 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.
Following the success of The Masks of Aphra Behn, Claire Louise Amias returns with this 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.
