Ghost Stories: Tales of the Supernatural
friday 1st november 2024 - bar opens 6.30pm for 7.30pm start
PERFORMANCE AND STORYTELLING
A wintry show for long, dark nights of ghostly tales brought to life through hand-drawn illustrations, masterful puppetry, cinematic projection and live music.
Discover what happened when the Devil came to Cornwall, strange happenings in a bewitched house in Devon, ghostly apparitions in Shropshire, a headless rider in Savernake Forest, Wiltshire and more.
Fascinating and imaginative storytellers, The Paper Cinema, create unique magical performances. For Ghost Stories, vivid pen and ink drawings capture these stories of the supernatural, accompanied by an eerily atmospheric soundtrack of violin, guitar, musical saw and live looping.
Suitable for ages 8+
This performance is brought to us by Devon-based arts charity Villages in Action.
Tickets £14 Adult, £8 Child and Family (2 Adult and 2 Child) £38 - click here
To facilitate the performance in the round some seats are cushions on the floor. Please arrive early or let us know if you need a standard seat saving.

Then, one carnival night, two women, bleeding and stricken, are abandoned outside the convent's walls. Moments from death, one of them presses something into Beatrice's hands: a bewitching book whose pages have a dangerous life of their own.
Fiona Williams: The House of Broken Bricks - Ain't nothing wrong with being broken. Nothing at all. You're like these houses, not a whole brick in em and look how strong they are.

Exeter Phoenix has digitised an extraordinary historical resource: approximately 5 hours of 16mm film footage from the 1930s to the 1960s. This archive documents one family's travels around the world, offering a vivid historical record of both daily life and major world events during this tumultuous period.
Holly Ebony's song cycle draws inspiration from this archive, and sections of the footage will be screened as part of the event, accompanied by her evocative music.
Cascading vocals heady & peaty raw as the Dartmoor landscape she hails from, her ‘intoxicating’ (Fatea) 2023 debut album Born For These Times is ‘surprisingly potent’ (RNR) Female led folk of ‘Easy Excellence’ (ArtsCulture), serene harmony & elemental ferocity and led to Holly supporting both Jesca Hoop and Lady Nade.
Please note that entry to the event is free, and option for cheeseboards. Doors will open at 7pm, and the performance will begin at 7.30pm for approx. 60 mins.
Please book even though free so we can account for numbers.
