DYAD Productions resurrect a macabre Victorian tradition by presenting three seasonal tales of terror to scintillate the gooseflesh for dark Christmas nights in A Christmas Gothic at Helmsley Arts Centre on Friday at 7.30pm.
"Christmas is a time to remember the past, celebrate the present, and look to the future; a time of feasts and festivities; of holly and mistletoe; a time of visits and visitations. A time of ghosts," says performer Rebecca Vaughan, who has adapted the ghostly, grisly tales.
"Come in from the cold and enter into the Christmas spirit as a dark and spectral woman tells haunting tales of the festive season, lighting a candle to the frailties of human nature and illuminating the cold and chilling depths of the bleak, wintry dark."
Vaughan's past shows for Dyad Productions include Dalloway, Austen’s Women, I, Elizabeth and Female Gothic; director Elton Townend Jones previously directed Dyad's Dalloway and The Unremarkable Death Of Marilyn Monroe.
