Christmas Gothic

The Old Town Hall’s resident company, the award-winning Dyad Productions, (That Knave, Raleigh, Lady Susan, A Room of One’s Own, I, Elizabeth, Austen’s Women, Female Gothic), are back with their atmospheric celebration of the festive ghost story. Christmas: a time to remember the past, celebrate the present, and look to the future; a time of feasts and festivities; of holly and mistletoe; a time of visits and visitations. A time of ghosts. Come in from the cold and enter into the Christmas spirit as a dark and spectral woman tells haunting tales of the festive season, lighting a candle to the frailties of human nature and illuminating the cold and chilling depths of the bleak, wintry dark. Following the international touring success that was Female Gothic, Dyad Productions resurrects a Victorian tradition by presenting three seasonal tales of terror to scintillate the gooseflesh for dark Christmas nights. This dark celebration of Christmas is adapted and performed by Rebecca Vaughan (Lady Susan, A Room of One’s Own, Austen’s Women, I, Elizabeth, Female Gothic). Performances Saturday 22 November: 8pm Sunday 23 November: 2pm
