A New Musical
 
It’s autumn in Moominvalley. Leaves are falling, rain has settled in. Six strangers arrive, each searching for something. Snufkin is looking for a melody. Fillyjonk longs for order. And Toft wants, more than anything, to meet the Moomins. 
 
But the house is empty. The valley is quiet. The Moomins have gone. 
 
Based on Tove Jansson’s final Moomin story, Moominvalley in November is a gentle, profound, and life-affirming meditation on grief, belonging, and quiet resilience. 
 
A co-production between Nummulite and Chromolume—the in-house company at Upstairs at the Gatehouse behind In ClayRoad Show, and Tom Lehrer Is Teaching Math and Doesn’t Want to Talk to YouMoominvalley in November was shortlisted for Mercury Musical Development’s BEAM 2025 showcase.

“Ingenious contemporary folk horror tale.”

Hauntings @ Upstairs at the Gatehouse
Nov 23 @ 8:00 pm – 10:00 pm
Hauntings @ Upstairs at the Gatehouse
With masterful storytelling from the award-winning actor Gerard Logan, Hauntings will transport you to a world of invisible, but terrifyingly present, spirits.
 
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 terrorises an arrogant professor.

Performed by Gerard Logan
(Olivier Nominee & Winner of The Stage Newspaper’s ‘Best Solo Performer of the 2011 Edinburgh Festival)

WINNER: OFFCOMM COMMENDATION

WINNER: BEST PERFORMER IN THEATRE
Fringe Report Awards, 2012

 

​NOMINATED: LONDON THEATRE AWARD
London Awards for Art and Performance, 2012

Told from the perspective of Scrooge’s deceased business partner, this multi award-winning stage adaptation has been hailed as the “definitive telling of A Christmas Carol” (Redditch Standard), and rated as one of “the top Christmas shows in London, Edinburgh and around the UK” (High 50 Culture). Recognised by Queen Elizabeth II for its part in Dickensian Scholarship, this “forcefully compelling masterpiece” (Manx Independent) delivers thrills, chills and excitement aplenty for all ages.

 

Jacob Marley is dead and condemned to an eternity of carrying a heavy chain, forged in life; a life to which he can no longer return except to recount the tale of his miserly business partner, Ebenezer Scrooge, and the path that lead to his redemption. Through Marley’s words, we learn how three magical spirits opened Scrooge’s eyes and made him realise the true value of love and forgiveness.
