"Tales from the Shadows" is an evening of spooky Gothic stories performed at the Lantern Arts Centre's Studio Theatre. In a place with no name, a down-on-their-luck narrator strives to fathom the nature of horror, in adaptations of a fairy tale, the first detective story and an original chilling tale. The show marks the directorial debut of several members of the Lantern community, with pieces directed by Edward Hebbourn, Phoebe-rose Redman, Danny Welsh and Nadia Williams. Tickets cost £12, the recommended age is 12+, and the running time is approximately two hours including an interval.
