Three chilling
tales.
Two ghostly
performers.
One thrilling
night.
The Book of Darkness & Light
Hexham Queen's Hall Arts Centre
Having
already thrilled over 1,500 people in Leeds ’
oldest church as part of Light Night and gone on to play many sold-out dates in
their 2016 tour, gothic storytelling show The Book of Darkness & Light will
embark upon a four month national tour from September 2017.
“Legend
has it that many years ago a book of terrifying tales was found. Now, you are
invited to discover the secrets of The Book of Darkness & Light… if you
dare.”
The Book of Darkness &
Light is a new storytelling experience from writer Adam
Z. Robinson and musician Ben Styles. Using a combination of original ghost
stories and live violin music, the performances are spooky, mesmerising and
charming. Each show includes some short, local ghost stories and legends
specific to the location.
With
the ancient book in hand, The
Storyteller tells three chilling tales as The Musician fills the room with a
beautiful, haunting score. The stories range from moving to macabre: In Plagued, a cruel
politician gets his comeuppance when he returns home one wintery night. In Girl, Dancing an
ageing stage star becomes jealous of her step-daughter’s fame, making a ghastly
decision to get
her out of the picture. In The Bonehouse, a historian comes
face-to-face with the gruesome history of an abandoned village lock-up.
