Deepest Fears

Deepest Fears comes to the Arts Centre Washington on Thursday 26 November, with The Book of Darkness & Light bringing two classic ghost stories to life on stage. It's a spine-chilling double bill, so you get two tales in one sitting rather than just one long stretch.

The show is presented by The Book of Darkness & Light, a company that's built its name on the ghost story. Their previous work includes the original plays Shivers and Upon The Stair, and they've taken a production of A Christmas Carol both across the country and overseas. The performer on the bill is described as one of the country's most captivating ghost story performers, which gives you a good idea of the kind of night this is: a storyteller holding the room with a couple of old tales.

Before you book, there are a few things to keep in mind. The show is for ages 14 and over, and it doesn't hold back on the atmosphere. You'll find jumps, loud sounds, moments of horror and peril, and a tense mood throughout. There are references to death, blood and burial, and haze is used on stage. If you're not one for the jumpy bits or the darker side of storytelling, this might not be the one for you.

It runs from 7:30pm to 9:10pm, about 100 minutes with an interval to stretch your legs in between the two stories. Tickets are £14 for adults and £12 for concessions.
