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)
Directed by Gareth Armstrong

Music by Simon Slater

 
Logan is astounding….He takes a strong script and flies it to the stars
 Edinburgh Festival 2016 Review – 5 STARS 
Watching Logan work is like being privy to a wonder of nature and remains with you … A true masterpiece of solo performance”

A Christmas Carol – As Told By Jacob Marley (Deceased)
Adapted and performed by James Hyland
Music by Chris Warner

 

WINNER: OFFCOMM COMMENDATION
Off West End Awards, 2023   

 

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.
