About This Event

The Guildhall in Leicester is set to host "Weeping Bank Library," a theatrical production scheduled for November 10, 2026. This staged narrative delves into the mysterious contents of a ventriloquist's trunk left by Mary Volk’s Uncle Fredrick Sale. The unfolding mystery will be explored through various performances, offering audiences an immersive experience that has captivated theatergoers at events such as the UK Ghost Story Festival and London Month of the Dead. Known for its compelling storyline and sold-out shows, "Weeping Bank Library" promises to leave viewers pondering the secrets hidden within the trunk’s eerie interior.

Mary Volk has been left a gift by her Uncle, the ventriloquist Fredrick Sale. A seemingly innocuous trunk filled with his theatre costumes. But the trunk isn’t all that it seems. Why is it smaller on the inside than the out?

With numerous sold out shows under their belt including acclaimed performances at the UK Ghost Story Festival and London Month of the Dead and a growing reputation for creating a unique sense of dread in their audiences, Weeping Bank returns to Leicester Guildhall this November to present 'Pock'. Written and narrated by The Librarian and brought to life with atmospheric lighting and a haunting soundscape, this unsettling tale is not to be missed.

Weeping Bank bridges a gap between Audible and Theatre, creating a fresh hinterland for horror aficionados to explore. But be warned - you may find the shadows a little darker afterwards.

‘A masterclass in the art of the modern ghost story.’ Writer & Journalist, Bronte Schiltz
