Something sinister is stirring at The Folly... 👻🕯️Join us for an atmospheric evening of supernatural storytelling as Robert Lloyd Parry of Nunkie Theatre Company brings two chilling tales by M R James to life.
This year, the performance moves into the intimate surroundings of The Folly Coffee House. With just 31 seats, you’ll be remarkably close to the action as two tales of cathedral terror unfold...
The Stalls of Barchester Cathedral
An ambitious cleric falls prey to an ancient curse built into the very fabric of the building he serves.
An Episode of Cathedral History
Ill-advised restorations uncover an ancient tomb. But what lies within? And is it only sleeping?
M R James wrote many of his finest ghost stories to be read aloud to friends by candlelight. Robert Lloyd Parry has become renowned for continuing that tradition through his wonderfully atmospheric one-man performances.
“The perfect mix of humour, warmth, apprehension and profound unease. A most pleasing terror…” - The Sunday Times
