CHILLING tales of a macabre and terrifying nature are coming to the Regal Theatre in Minehead this Friday.
The Victorian fascination with mystery stories and the supernatural by the great popular female writers of that era – Mary Shelley, George Eliot and Edith Nesbit – form the basis of Female Gothic, presented by Dyad Productions.
As a celebration of Gothic fiction, the production centres on a lone, haunted woman who tells tales about an artist gripped by the clutching fingers of a dead past, a scientist defying nature in the dark realm of the senses and an expectant father driven mad by creeping shadows.
Female Gothic is adapted and performed by Rebecca Vaughan (Austen’s Women) and directed by Olivier Award winner Guy Masterson (Morecambe).
The performance starts at 8pm with the bar open from 7pm. Tickets priced £11 are available from the box office on 01643-706430 or book online here.
