Two Ghost Stories
A century after their first publication, Montague Rhodes James's Ghost Stories of an Antiquary, remain the most admired supernatural tales in the English language. Now Nunkie Theatre Company has brought two of the eeriest and most entertaining back to life. In Canon Alberic’s Scrap-book, a young Cambridge antiquary discovers the dark side of manuscript illumination, in a medieval town in the French Pyrenees. In The Mezzotint a ghoulish revenge is enacted within a work of art, the helpless eyes of a museum curator in Oxford.
