Directed by Gareth Armstrong

Hauntings is a spellbinding evening of three tales of the supernatural from two of the world’s greatest writers of ghost stories, E.F. Benson and M.R. James.
From E.F. Benson comes:
‘Naboth’s Vineyard’ – in which just deserts are meted out to an unscrupulous lawyer,
&
‘The Hanging of Alfred Wadham’ – in which the forces of the devil test a man of faith to his limits.
From the 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 strikes terrorizes an arrogant professor.
With masterful storytelling from the award-winning actor Gerard Logan, Hauntings will transport you to a world of invisible, but terrifyingly present, spirits.
