The twisted imaginations behind "Poets Day" and "The Adventures of Bentley Strangetrousers", return for their now traditional (and extremely silly) evening of ghostly nonsense in a tale of festive terror inspired by M.R. James.
Pour yourselves a large glass of sherry as medievalist, antiquary and genial fear monger, Montague Roads Jim, exhumes another Ghost Story for Christmas. Listen in English dread to the cautionary tale of the overly curious Mister Dennis Wrexall; whose travelogue writing in Sweden brings him to Västerpönkingland and the Mausoleum of the long dead, greatly feared and phenomenally shabby Count Magnus Magnus Magnusson, to catalogue the papers of the Count’s descendant; the eccentric Sophia de la Gaudy.
Who was this Terrible Count, why are his mortal remains secured within an ornate, triple-padlocked, copper dustbin, what does Sophia de la Gaudy really want – (apart from all the naughty things, obviously) and who is the impossibly smooth and caddish Princeton d’Air..?
Pack your crucifixes, holy water and some lightly roasted garlic for another tale of Jamesian horror cut with Milliganesque surrealism and served on a platter of complete cobblers...
Count Magnus Magnus Magnusson: He’s started, so he’ll Finish…
