Theatre & Tonic (Ghost Stories by Candlelight 2023)Chilling, captivating and scattered with urgency
A HighTide and Pentabus Co-production in association with Harlow Playhouse.
Ghosts don’t always stay in the past.
Pentabus is thrilled to join forces with HighTide for the first time to bring you a brand new edition of the sell-out sensation, Ghost Stories by Candlelight.
Featuring four spine-tingling tales from award-winning writers — Florence Espeut-Nickless, Simon Longman, Anne Odeke, and Rosa Torr — and directed by Elle While, this haunting co-production invites audiences into the secretive, spectral corners of the East and West of England.
Step into the glow of candlelight… but be warned: don’t let the light go out.
Suitable for ages 12+
