Hauntings

Hauntings is a spellbinding evening of three tales of the supernatural during which the award-winning actor, Gerard Logan, will take you to world of invisible, but terrifyingly present, spirits.

Gerard Logan's masterful storytelling of two of the world’s greatest writers of ghost stories, E.F. Benson and M.R. James guarantees a spinetingling evening not to be missed.

From E.F. BENSON comes:
Naboth’s Vineyard - in which just desserts are meted out to an unscrupulous lawyer.

The Hanging of Alfred Wadham - in which the forces of the devil test a man of faith to his limits.

From the acknowledged master of the ghost story genre, M.R. JAMES, comes:
Oh, Whistle and I’ll Come to You, My Lad - in which a medieval spirit strikes terrorizes an arrogant professor.


'Logan is astounding....He takes a strong script and flies it to the stars' ★★★★★ Edinburgh Festival 2016 Review

'Watching Logan work is like being privy to a wonder of nature and remains with you ... A true masterpiece of solo performance' ★★★★★ The Edinburgh Guide

Hauntings is also underscored by a beautiful, original and specially commissioned score by the award-winning RSC composer, Simon Slater.

Quentin Crisp: Naked Hope

Mark Farrelly (Howerd's End, Jarman) brings his hugely-acclaimed solo play to Norden Farm for an up-close encounter with the original Englishman in New York.

From a conventional upbringing to global notoriety via The Naked Civil Servant, Quentin Crisp was one of the most memorable figures of the twentieth century. Openly gay as early as the 1930s, Quentin spent decades being beaten up on London’s streets for refusing to be anything less than himself. His courage, and the philosophy that evolved from those experiences, inspire to the present day.

Naked Hope depicts Quentin at two phases of his extraordinary life. Alone in his Chelsea flat in the 1960s, certain that life has passed him by, and thirty years later, performing An Evening with Quentin Crisp in New York.

Packed with witty gems on everything from cleaning (Don’t bother – after the first four years the dust won’t get any worse) to marriage (Is there life after marriage? The answer is no), Naked Hope is a glorious, uplifting celebration of the urgent necessity to be your true self.

A stunning piece of theatre, masterfully told' ★★★★★ Broadway Baby

'Reveals both the frailty and fearlessness of a trendsetter' ★★★★ Metro
