After Supper Ghost Stories

The tradition of gathering together to tell ghost stories in the cold and dark of winter surely stretches back to when we first imagined what lurks in the dark corners of the firelight?

The Victorians, however, turned this parlour and party entertainment into an institution and expectation.

First published in 1891, Jerome K Jerome, famed author of Three Men in a Boat, perfectly parodies this spooky and popular amusement with these comic horror stories.

A portmanteau of ghostly tales, told by an unreliable narrator and tied together with nonsense, noise and whiskey-punch…

A Frosty Chiller or a Winter Warmer? Storyteller Gav Cross brings this robust reading of a Victorian gem to life, with an attention-grabbing vibrancy.

The performance takes place with the atmospheric Victorian Porch in the museum’s Atrium as its backdrop. The performance starts at 7:00pm, doors open at 6:00pm to allow patrons to explore the Museum in private before taking their unreserved seating.

Suitable for ages 14+
