Join us for a wonderful evening of storytelling with actor R M Lloyd Parry, who will be performing the ghost stories of M R James
Join us for a evening of spectre and delight. In the depth of the Birchliffe Centre we'll be joined by actor R M Lloyd Parry, who will be performing ghost stories from the canon of M R James, one of the great influences on modern horror.
Over 120 years after they were first published, the ghost stories of M R James retain their power to terrify and amuse. This gripping one man show retells two of the earliest and eeriest.
In Canon Alberic’s Scrap-book, a young Cambridge antiquary discovers the devil in the details of an old book in a medieval town in the French Pyrenees…
In The Mezzotint a ghoulish revenge is enacted within a work of art, before the helpless eyes of a museum curator in Oxford…
Limited seating so book early!
