“Put it down, you fool! Do you want to look through a dead man’s eyes?” 👁️🕯️Spend a winter evening in the intimate surroundings of The Folly Coffee House as Robert Lloyd Parry of Nunkie Theatre Company brings two chilling tales by M R James to life.
With just 31 seats, this promises to be a wonderfully atmospheric evening of supernatural storytelling.
A View from a Hill
A pair of old binoculars reveals the grisly history of an apparently idyllic stretch of English landscape.
The Treasure of Abbot Thomas
A treasure-seeker comes face to face with unspeakable horror at the bottom of an ancient well.
Dead Men's Eyes is part of Robert Lloyd Parry's acclaimed M R James Project, reviving the tradition of supernatural storytelling perfected by M R James in Cambridge in the years before the First World War.
