Haunted Shadows: The Gothic Tales of Edith Nesbit – Alma Tavern Theatre

Coming to the Alma Tavern Theatre just in time for the dark October nights is Haunted Shadows: The Gothic Tales of Edith Nesbit.

From A Monkey with Cymbals theatre company, audiences are in for a treat with three chilling Gothic tales.

In The Shadow, a repressed housekeeper encounters an abominable entity, while in The Pavilion the shadow of a long-dead necromancer envelops a social gathering. Finally, a deranged young woman harbours a deadly secret in a rediscovered story called A Strange Experience.

Claire Louise Amias is Edith Nesbit, the well-known author of The Railway Children and Five Children and It. But many people don’t realise that Nesbit also wrote ghost stories for adults.

The show will also be at the Ustinov Studio in Bath on 10 January 2026

Performed by Claire Louise Amias
Directed by Jonathan Rigby
