Haunted Shadows

An expert at chilling the spine and curdling the blood, Edith Nesbit relates three of her best Gothic tales while recalling her own childhood terrors.

In The Shadow, a repressed housekeeper encounters an abominable entity, while in The Pavilion the shade of a long-dead necromancer envelops a social gathering. Finally, a deranged young woman harbours a deadly secret in a rediscovered story called A Strange Experience.

In this chilling one-woman show, Claire Louise Amias provides a gripping insight into the darker side of Edith Nesbit, author of The Railway Children. Renowned horror expert Jonathan Rigby directs.
