Ghost Stories for Christmas

For full tour dates please see - https://www.edwyrdiantales.com/tourdates

The best place by the festive fireside was always reserved for the storyteller. Join Edwyrdian Tales for an evening of haunting dark delights set during Christmastide, on our second national tour of ghostly tales of dread. This year our night of seasonal spirits features terrors from classic authors of the age… MR James and Marjorie Bowen.

In “Number 13” a traveller discovers that his hotel room is not quite all that it seems and that the Number 13 is indeed unlucky for some… In “Kecksies” two ill-mannered young Lords impose on the hospitality of a tenant accused of witchcraft, only to find that candles are lit for a funeral in the house. When they decide to play a cruel prank on those coming to pay their respects to the dead, no one will escape the consequences untouched.… And finally in “Oh Whistle and I’ll Come to you my Lad” a storm is whistled up along a bleak stretch of coastline, and a question howls upon the wind “Who is this who is coming…”

Bone chilling tales to conjure the spirits of Christmas...

A one-man performance, directed and haunted by Matthew Wood

Please note this is a live performance by Edwyrdian Tales at the Britannia Panopticon, 113-117 Trongate, Glasgow G1 5HD – the performance is not being streamed on-line.

The Britannia Panopticon is an incredible building, the oldest surviving music hall in the world, famed as the place where 16-year-old Stan Laurel made his debut. This will make it one of the most incredibly atmospheric venues of our UK tour. Due to its current slightly crumbling condition some modern luxuries such as heating or a lift are not possible, so dressing for the prevailing weather and bringing a blanket for the performance may be wise.

Disabled access – It is best to contact the venue directly on tel:01415530840 to discuss any needs. There is wheelchair access, however, it is important that wheelchair users contact the venue at least 2 weeks in advance so that the venue can properly accommodate them as the stair-climber is not suitable for bariatric wheelchairs and some larger motorised chairs. Due to the historic nature of the building, the venue also does not have disabled accessible toilets.

Location: Britannia Panopticon, 113-117 Trongate, Glasgow G1 5HD
