NIGHTMARES invites its audience to experience a trio of classic ghost stories, told with an eerie, atmospheric soundscape. Featuring some of the best-known and most loved ghost stories in history, this intimate storytelling experience is ideal for the crisp, wintery months and will appeal to everyone who enjoys a great story, well told.

The Book of Darkness & Light’s previous work includes a number of Adam’s original stories, including SHIVERS (“A must-see production” – Northern Soul) and the BSL-integrated show UPON THE STAIR, which was touring just as lockdown hit (“One of the best shows I have ever seen” – audience member).

His production of A CHRISTMAS CAROL has toured internationally, and most recently he’s been out on the road with HAUNTED, which audiences praised as “A spine-tingling, awesome experience”, with “incomparable acting”. 

The show features three of the most spine-tingling tales ever written – 'The Judge’s House' by Bram Stoker, 'The Kit-Bag' by Algernon Blackwood and 'John Charrington’s Wedding' by E Nesbit.

Delightfully sinister fun
