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"
