Dark Tales

T0163611608
21 years ago audience members gasped, screamed, fainted or had to leave the theatre. This chilling, creepy play explores the myths and the stories that scare us at night, and two men who write them: Alex Crowley, who lectures about creative writing in the horror genre, and Jack Langton, a past student. Their conversation becomes a sinister exchange, a dark rivalry - but the men are linked by more than their writing - there is a strong smell of sexual jealousy... Confronting each other by demonstrating the power of each of their writing styles, slowly reveals a dark secret, leading to a terrifying conclusion.
