“At first they hear nothing at all. Then they hear someone scream, just as if the most inside part of his soul was twisted out of him.”
About this Event

Join us for a night of classic ghost stories…

The ghost stories of M R James amuse and terrify as powerfully today as when they were first written over a century ago. James first performed his supernatural tales to friends at Christmas in King’s College, Cambridge. Now Nunkie Theatre Company brings two of these classic spinechillers to life, in this thrilling one-man show.

In Count Magnus a travel-writer’s over-inquisitiveness leads to a diabolical chase from darkest Sweden to rural Essex. Denmark is the setting for Number 13, where a hotel room with the famously unlucky number, conceals a ghastly, baffling secret.


***** Riveting… The Daily Mail

“Lloyd Parry’s mastery of the role is itself an act of possession.” The New Yorker

“Lloyd Parry catches the sense of dread that gives James his originality” The Times

“My friends and I really enjoyed it, the atmosphere [at The Folly] was superb… I always feel that the spoken word is such a luxury, to be read to, or performed to, feels such a treat.” Attendee at A Pleasing Terror performed at The Folly
