Night Terrors is an evening of three classic ghost stories by EF Benson. The stories are: The Dance, In the Tube and The Confession of Charles Linkworth.
Performed to the accompaniment of an original musical soundscape, all three tales conjure a chilling atmosphere.
“Logan is astounding…he takes a great script and flies it to the stars.” Edinburgh Review
