HighTide have announced tour dates for More…Ghost Stories by Candlelight. Following the sell-out success of their 2023 autumn tour of Ghost Stories by Candlelight, the East of England company brings together four new stories from playwrights in their home region to deliver this brand new, chilling production.
Ghosts don’t always stay in the past.
All-new for 2024, gather close for a chilling evening of contemporary tales and music from the ‘Haunted Counties’ of East Anglia. Following the sell-out success of last year’s tour, HighTide brings you four brand new stories in More…Ghost Stories by Candlelight.
A Theatre Green Book production, conceived and made to reduce carbon impacts.
Taking inspiration from ghost stories of old, this contemporary production brings the genre right into the modern age, with settings that represent the writers’ own connections to the East of England, from urban Cambridge to the Essex salt-marsh; leafy Suffolk villages to the bracing North-Norfolk coast.
Returning to many venues from their 2023 tour, including Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds, and The Seagull Theatre in Lowestoft which saw sold-out houses. The production will also play in characterful and atmospheric non-theatrical spaces like Colchester’s Layer Marney Towers and Old Divinity Hall in Cambridge.
The tour will culminate in a spooky run of shows at the candlelit Sam Wanamaker Playhouse at Shakespeare’s Globe, London. Dates soon to be announced.
