Spine-tingling tales of the supernatural from E.F. Benson’s brilliant collection of ghost stories, Night Terrors.

Masterful storytelling from Gerard Logan, who from the deceptive comfort of an easy chair will transport you to a darker, more sinister world where the unexpected and the unexplainable will intrigue and disturb.

E.F. Benson is probably now more famous for his humorous series of novels exploring the world of Mapp and Lucia, but in the mid-twentieth century he was renowned as the author of what he called “spook stories”.  The tales are dramatic, haunting and hugely memorable.

Night Terrors is directed and dramatised by award-winning Gareth Armstrong.

Gerard Logan is widely acknowledged as an outstanding exponent of the solo performance,  and has won acclaim and awards for his shows: The Rape of Lucrece (Shakespeare) and Wilde Without the Boy (Gareth Armstrong’s dramatisation of Oscar Wilde’s De Profundis).

Gerard won The Stage Newspaper’s “Best Solo Performer” Award at the 2011 Edinburgh Festival for his performance in Shakespeare’s great narrative poem “The Rape of Lucrece” which, alongside “Wilde Without the Boy” and “The Ballad of Reading Gaol” he is currently touring internationally. He recently won the “Best Actor” award at the 2014 Buxton Fringe Theatre Festival for his performance in “Wilde Without the Boy”.

Director Gareth Armstrong has combined the roles of actor, director, writer and teacher throughout a career that has taken to him to over fifty countries: He was a member of the RSC, worked at Shakespeare’s Globe and London’s West End. He has directed a wide repertoire of work all over the UK as well as Europe and America.

He created his own one-man show, ‘Shylock’, touring internationally for ten years. Since then he has specialised in creating solo theatre pieces with other performers and playwrights and has written a book on the subject – ‘So You Want To Do A Solo Show’ published by Nick Hern Books.
