Ghost Stories

Sam Wanamaker Playhouse

Gather close for Ghost Stories by Candlelight, an evening of chilling, contemporary tales and haunting new folk music from the ‘Witch Counties’ of East Anglia, by celebrated new writing company HighTide, in the intimate setting of the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse.

What happens when the ghosts of the past creep up on us today?

A sea mist descends.

The hound howls.

Sodium street lights twitch.

A falcon sars above, on the hunt.

‘A welcome reminder of how intimate and ambitious theatre can be’

The Stage on HighTide’s previous shows

Directed by Elayce Ismail, written by Kelly Jones, Shamser Sinha and Nicola Werenowska, with music and songs by Georgia Shackleton.

A HighTide production in association with Shakespeare’s Globe, Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds & Harlow Playhouse. HighTide have secured funding for Ghost Stories by Candlelight from the National Lottery through Arts Council England, East Suffolk Council, and Adnams.

Ghost Stories by Candlelight is part of the  Sam Wanamaker Playhouse 10th Anniversary Season.
