SUPERNATURAL: A JOURNEY INTO UNBRIDLED TERROR

Seven people stranded in a world beyond tangible reality - and only one of them knows why...

Step into the SUPERNATURAL - Suggested by the nightmare visions of MR James, WW Jacobs and WG Ross, SUPERNATURAL is a contemporary evocation of their tales of horror brought right to the heart of modern England. 

Discover the grim history of The Rose Garden; the unholy terrors lying in wait for an innocent young girl in Lost Hearts; and the horrific curse of The Monkey’s Paw...

Take a journey with us into the heart of darkness where nothing is as it seems; take a journey with us into the world of the SUPERNATURAL !

Reviews:

"Comic gothic shocker full marks" - Remote Goat, by Paul Tristan on 06/12/09 "I went to see "Supernatural" with more than a little trepidation. The idea, to update the stories of MR James and WW Jacobs, seems a ludicrous one. These are writers whose work belongs to another time and to another genre. Their stories weren't written for the theatre or even the cinema. They were written to be read by a roaring fireplace. It is a great credit, therefore, that the writers of this play have managed to construct a piece that works perfectly." Read more...

"Comic gothic shocker full marks" - Ham & High, Reviewed by Janet Locke by Aline Waites and Jago Turner, directed by Mykal Rand. In rep at the Lion and Unicorn until 10th January. Read more...

The British Theatre Guide, Reviewed by Howard Loxton, 2009 "This is a portmanteau piece that puts together four separate stories that give a contemporary twist to old favourites of the horror genre." Read more...

The Stage, Published Friday 27 November 2009 at 17:25 by Catherine Usher "An intriguing alternative to pantomimes and Christmas shows, Supernatural offers an antidote to festive frolics with a sinister tale full of frights and mystery." Read more...
