Darkness & Light: Ghost Stories by Adam Z. Robinson
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.” – Our Theatre Voice
