Step into the atmospheric surroundings of The Corn Hall Diss for a spine-tingling evening of Gothic storytelling. Renowned for chilling the spine and curdling the blood, Edith Nesbit shares three of her most haunting tales – The Shadow, The Pavilion and A Strange Experience – while reflecting on the childhood fears that inspired her imagination.

 

Acclaimed performer Claire Louise Amias brings to life the darker side of the beloved author of The Railway Children in this gripping one-woman production, revealing a world far removed from Nesbit’s better-known family stories.

 

Directed by renowned horror expert Jonathan Rigby, this captivating performance transforms The Corn Hall Diss into the perfect setting for an evening of suspense, mystery and ghostly intrigue. Don't miss this unforgettable theatrical experience in the heart of Diss.
