Hauntings
Adapted for the stage by Gareth Armstrong.
Directed by Gareth Armstrong.
Performed by Gerard Logan, Olivier Nominee.
Winner of The Stage ‘Best Solo Performer of the 2011 Edinburgh Festival’ award.
Hauntings is an evening of three ghost stories, one by M.R. James and two by E.F. Benson.
From E.F. Benson comes:
Naboth’s Vineyard – in which just deserts are meted out to an unscrupulous lawyer,
And
The Hanging of Alfred Wadham – in which the forces of the devil test a man of faith to his limits.
From the acknowledged master of the ghost story genre, M.R. James, comes:
Oh, Whistle and I’ll Come to You, My Lad – in which a medieval spirit terrorises an arrogant professor.
