Will Seaward’s legendary, high-gothic, critically-acclaimed, utterly fiendish and very, very very silly horror storytelling show is rising from the grave in a brand-new, vampire-themed incarnation made especially for this year’s festival.
Expect coffins. Expect cloaks. Expect hypnotic glares, serrated teeth, questionable silverware and an alarming number of scary wooden stakes in this gas craic hour that embraces and celebrates all things vampiric, from Carmilla to Mr Vampire.
Described as “a cross between Brian Blessed, Oscar Wilde and a crazed Victorian Music Hall MC” (The Telegraph), Will has appeared on BBC Two, Radio 4, and in ‘Best Show’ lists from The Guardian, The Times, The Sunday Times and the Independent on Sunday. His cult comedy ghost story series ran for six spooky years at the Edinburgh Fringe before touring church crypts, atmospheric forests and medieval torture galleries.
Audiences may dissolve from sheer terror.
Fancy dress encouraged.
Garlic and crucifixes strictly forbidden.
Tribute sacrifices most welcome!
This is Will’s first new show in six years… and his most memorable yet.
