A one-man performance by Toby Burchell
A one-man performance by Toby Burchell
“…this horror was bounding like a tiger at his heels, with blazing eyes and one stringy arm out thrown.”
Join Behind the Door Productions for ‘An Evening of ‘Ghost Stories’ at The National Botanic Garden of Wales.
ACT 1: In Charles Dickens’ classic ghost story, ‘The Signalman’, we follow a railway signalman who keeps watch over a damp, and gloomy railway cutting. Upon questioning, he reveals that he has been haunted by spectral warnings of impending train disasters.
ACT 2: In Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s ‘Lot No. 249’, we follow Abercrombie Smith, a student who investigates a series of supernatural occurrences linked to his neighbour, Edward Bellingham. Edward, an Oxford student, holds possession of an ancient Egyptian mummy which he appears to have been using to stalk his enemies.
This is a candlelit performance taking place in the Theatre and will begin at 7pm.
In this one-man performance, Toby Burchell performs two chilling tales by the finest writers of the ghost story genre. Originally narrated as entertainments for friends, these are the perfect traditional ghost stories.
Performance will last approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes with a 20 minutes interval included.
