Ghost Stories for Christmas

Staged beside the lights of a Christmas tree, this one-man show by Edwyrdian Tales brings three seasonal ghost stories to the stage. Directed and performed by Matthew Wood, the performance features adaptations of H.R. Wakefield's 'Lucky’s Grove' and Algernon Blackwood's 'The Wendigo,' alongside an original tale titled 'The Elder Son.' The narratives center on supernatural winter horrors involving cursed trees, pine forest terrors, and sinister carvings.
