SCREAMS FROM THE ATTIC

Screams from the Attic is a new horror play at The Stables Theatre, that invites the audience to work out what lies behind a locked attic door.

Written and directed by Tim Blackwell, the play was inspired by two mummified cats and the sinister stories buried around Hastings. The clues are threaded through local tales of witches and werewolves, alongside darker accounts of murder.

Behind the attic door is a mystery, with each tale revealing another clue as the show creeps towards whatever is waiting upstairs. It takes its cue from anthology horror favourites Tales from the Crypt and The House That Dripped Blood, so expect some scary surprises. You may want to leave the landing light on when you get home.

Performances run at 7.30pm from Wednesday 23rd to Sunday 27th September, with a 2:30 pm matinee on Saturday 26th September for anyone who prefers their horror before dark. The running time is approximately two hours and ten minutes, including an interval.

Tickets cost £15 for adults and £10 for under-18s or Stables Theatre members.
