Shock Horror: Northern Stage

Prepare to be spooked at Northern Stage this October when Shock Horror rolls into town.

Inspired by classic theatre ghost stories, the play is a chilling journey into the haunted past of Herbert - a man who grew up in an eerie old cinema called the Metropol. Forbidden from leaving by his disturbed parents, endless late-night horror movies were his only window to the world. But something lurked in the shadows of the Metropol's darkness...

Herbert somehow managed to escape and now he's back at the abandoned cinema looking for answers to long-buried questions... and the real horror is only just beginning. 

Expect shivers, shrieks and shocking revelations in this mix of live performance and big-screen action that is a spooky season must-see.
