Ghost stories are not about the dead – but the fears of the living. Our mistresses of the macabre, female writers from the 19th and early 20th century, knew how to spin a spine-tingling tale. Stories that manifest our deepest fears into flesh, bone and spirits – revealing the darker side we all crave – beyond the grave.

"These women writers survived and thrived in a time when their voices were often silenced." says Bell. "They used ghost stories as a way to unveil issues that were important to the women of their time, that would be otherwise taboo to discuss openly."

The production's eerie scenes seamlessly blend three one-acts with short theatre macabre skits (including "The Spider and the Fly", Dancing Bones and Xylophones, and Emily Brontë's "Spellbound") for an evening that will make theatre-goers shiver in their seats - and perhaps check under the bed before sleeping.
