Show starts: 21:30
Running time: 80 minutes
"Between the Dark and the Daylight" comprises readings of three classic, spine-tingling ghost stories. Most well-known is "The Signalman" by Charles Dickens, its railway tunnel setting given a spooky new lease of life under London Bridge station. Also featured are two ghost stories by women writers: from the pen of E Nesbit, more famous for "The Railway Children", comes "John Charrington's Bride" and from American Mary E Wilkins Freeman the harrowing tale of "The Lost Ghost."
Join us in reviving an English Yuletide tradition - and a glass or two of mulled wine!
"There must be something ghostly in the air of Christmas-- something about that draws up the ghosts, like the dampness of the summer rains brings out the frogs and snails. And not only do the ghosts themselves always walk at Christmas, but live people always sit and talk about them. Whenever five or six English- speaking people meet round a fire, they start telling each other ghosts stories...It is a genial, festive season, and we love to muse upon graves, and the dead bodies, and murders, and blood."
Jerome K Jerome (1891)
