An Evening of Ghost Stories by M.R.James at Tattershall Castle

"Yet, in all this quiet, there was an acute, an acrid consciousness of a restrained hostility very near to us, like a dog on a leash that might be let go at any moment."

ACT 1: ‘The Mezzotint’ follows Mr Williams, the curator of a university art museum, who receives a mezzotint from an art dealer. What Mr Williams comes to discover is that the picture appears to move every time he looks at it. But the story the mezzotint is showing is something far more sinister than Mr Williams first thought...

Act 2: In 'A Warning to the curious' we follow Paxton, an archaeologist who inadvertently comes upon one of the three holy crowns of East Anglia. What he uncovers leads to something far more sinister...'

This is a candlelit performance taking place in the Parlour at Tattershall Castle and will begin at 7pm. In this one-man performance, Toby Burchell performs two chilling tales by the finest writer of the ghost story genre, M. R. James. Originally narrated by James himself as an entertainment for friends, these are the perfect traditional ghost stories.

Pre booking is essential.
