Come face-to-face with terror…

One lamp-lit storyteller, two ghostly tales and nothing else but the infinite horrors
of the surrounding darkness.

To celebrate a decade of making ghost story theatre, The Book of Darkness & Light present two of their most terrifying tales from the past ten years in this
intimate and spellbinding solo show.

In The Bonehouse, historian Archie Witt takes a research trip to investigate the
fabled roundhouse lock-up in Abbot’s Knock, a village marred by witch trials, a
wicked 17th-century magistrate and an ancient evil that may haunt the place still.

In A Horror in Porcelain, eccentric millionaire Delaney acquires a notorious
antique doll for his collection… only to stumble upon a haunting history that will
catch up with him in the most horrifying way imaginable.

Brought to life by master of the macabre Adam Z. Robinson, Darkness & Light is
a uniquely enthralling show that will have you on the edge of your seat
throughout… and haunt you long after the final words are spoken. Join us, if you
dare, for this spine-chilling storytelling experience.

“…pure spine-chilling escapism brimming with edge-of-your-seat tension.” —
The Indiependent on Haunted

★★★★★ “A must-see production.”
— Northern Soul on Shivers

“Robinson’s delivery is captivating… he is an exceptional storyteller.”

    Kerry Ellis was brilliant as always and it was wonderful to see her in such an intimate setting. However I would have liked to have heard her sing a few more songs. The interviewer was very pleasant and amusing but the focus swayed too much on him rather than Kerry. Some of the questions felt like time wasters. It's always good to hear about Kerry's career and she has some fantastic stories that she tells well, she's naturally very funny. Personally I thought the interviewer was actually surplus to requirement on this occasion. Shout out to the brilliant music director on piano.
