Two Ghost Stories from the M.R.James Project, featuring Robert Lloyd Parry of Nunkie Theatre - perfect for a dark, November evening!
M R James is acknowledged as the master of the English Ghost Story. Robert Lloyd Parry first conceived the M.R. James Project as an initiative to bring back to life the eeriest and most entertaining of these enduringly brilliant tales, many of which were originally written to be performed by the author to his friends, in his rooms in King’s College, Cambridge on Christmas Eve. .. now, Parry has brought two of these unforgettable spine-chillers back to life.
Oh, Whistle, and I’ll Come To You, My Lad – a tale of nocturnal horror on the Suffolk coast – is considered by many to be James’s masterpiece.
It is beautifully complemented here by The Ash Tree, a story of witchcraft and vengeance down the generations.
**** "Lloyd Parry catches the sense of dread that gives James his originality"

We had not planned to present a hybrid festival, however that changed when one of our main authors tested positive for Covid. I greatly appreciated how the team worked with us to pivot and present remotely in part, making full use of your enhanced video conferencing equipment. As a result, we were able to deliver quite complex events with several elements all showing on screen simultaneously. The audio-visual quality was excellent, and our audiences were delighted that these events could still go ahead, in spite of Covid. The author in question was really pleased that he could join us on screen and remarked that he had not been so well supported in this way at any other festival.
