Experience Spine-Chilling Tales at Arlington Arts on October 30

An evening of ghostly tales awaits at Arlington Arts in Newbury on October 30, 2023, featuring a remarkable performance titled Hauntings. Acclaimed actor Gerard Logan, known for his Olivier Award-nominated work, will present three chilling ghost stories that promise to captivate and unsettle audiences.

The event begins at 20:00 at the Snelsmore venue, with doors opening at 19:00. Attendees can expect an engaging atmosphere as the bar opens at the same time. Logan will bring to life the works of two notable authors in the ghost story genre: MR James and EF Benson.

Two of Benson’s stories will be featured. “Naboth’s Vineyard” tells the tale of an unscrupulous lawyer facing dire consequences for his actions, while “The Hanging of Alfred Wadham” explores the limits of faith when confronted by sinister forces. From the respected master of ghost storytelling, MR James, comes “Oh, Whistle and I’ll Come to You, My Lad,” which follows an arrogant professor haunted by a medieval spirit.

Logan’s performance has garnered acclaim, with recognition from The Stage Newspaper for his Best Solo Show at the 2011 Edinburgh Festival. His ability to draw audiences into the haunting narratives has made him a standout performer in the realm of ghost stories.

For those planning to attend, Arlington Arts Centre is located at Mary Hare, Snelsmore Common, Newbury, RG14 3BQ. Visitors are advised to check parking availability and other access information, which can be found on the venue’s website.
