Ghost Stories For Christmas
Following in the fine festive tradition of telling ghostly stories by the fireside, join Edwyrdian Tales for an evening of haunting dark delights set during Christmastide. Our night of seasonal spirits features terrors from some of the finest authors of their age… W. W. Jacobs, Algernon Blackwood and A. M. Burrage.
In Jerry Bundler, patrons gather in a London tavern at Christmastime swapping traditionally terrifying ghost stories, only to discover the establishment itself is haunted…
In Smee, some festive parlour games are just the thing to raise some spirits. But it’s always wise to know how many people are hiding in the house before you start trying to seek them…
And finally in The Kit-Bag, packing for the Christmas holidays takes a turn for the worse as a young lawyer finds his recent gruesome trial comes back to haunt him. Bone chilling tales to conjure the spirits of Christmas...

Theatre Company Reviews:
“A standout is Matthew Wood, a professional ghost storyteller...My enthralled friend and I found ourselves grinning from ear to ear when he spontaneously quoted the entirety of Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven from memory.” - The Guardian, from The Key of Dreams
