JANUARY 2012
A PLEASING TERROR
Two Ghost Stories by M R JAMES
Friday 13th January 2012
Performed by Robert Lloyd Parry
Over a century after they were first published, the ghost stories of M R James retain their power to terrify and amuse. Award-winning and critically acclaimed Robert Lloyd Parry brings two of James’ classic spine-chillers back to life.
In Canon Alberic’s Scrap-book, a young 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.
"Lloyd Parry is always absorbing, and catches the sense of dread that gives James his originality"
THE TIMES
"Wonderful, magical storytelling" THE DAILY MAIL
"Lloyd Parry's beautifully modulated performance is perfectly judged to send an enjoyable chill down the spine" THE METRO
"Storytelling at its finest" THE STAGE
This Production is taking place entirely by candlelight in a small backstage area of the theatre which itself is said to be haunted!
