About

A sea mist descends.
The hound howls.
Sodium streetlights twitch.
A falcon soars above, on the hunt…
Ghosts don’t always stay in the past.

GHOST STORIES BY CANDLELIGHT is an evening of chilling, contemporary ghost tales, and bewitching new folk music, from the ‘Haunted Counties’ of East Anglia.

With music and songs by Georgia Shackleton and stories by Kelly Jones, Shamser Sinha and Nicola Werenowska, GHOST STORIES opens on Friday 13th October at Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds, before touring to theatres, museums, galleries, community halls and barns across East Anglia in autumn 2023.

The tour ends with four performances in the candlelit Sam Wanamaker Playhouse at Shakespeare's Globe in London, from 23 - 25 November.
