Little Earthquake’s new production – The Haunting

Kate Spragg — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 18:24:18 +0000

Birmingham based theatre company Little Earthquake will be embarking on a regional tour of their brand new production in March, The Haunting. The project will look at the phenomenon of Victorian Spirit Mediums and through performance, story-telling and illusion will recreate the atmosphere, mystery and titillation of a mid-nineteenth century Séance.

Performances will take place in five of the reputedly most haunted heritage properties across the Midlands: Highbury Hall in Moseley, Birmingham; The Molineux Hotel in Wolverhampton; Tutbury Castle in Burton-on-Trent; The Old Guildhall in Leicester; and Gainsborough Old Hall in Lincolnshire. Only 20 seats are available at some venues and the maximum capacity at the larger venues is 40.

Tickets are available from Oxboffice.
