The Judge's House

In this thrilling adaptation of Bram Stoker’s classic tale, an earnest young student takes up residence in a sinister, deserted house, thinking it the ideal place for long nights of study before a blazing fire. He mocks the fears of his fellow townsfolk…but all too soon finds himself far from alone - and haunted by the portrait of a vindictive hanging judge, lurking in the upper shadows of his room - just beside the seemingly innocent rope, up and down which run his other house-mates, the rats!

Mrs Witham, landlady of the local inn, welcomes us all to the tale of THE JUDGE'S HOUSE! which unfolds with an ample supply of Gothic Horror shivers and shocks.

 

“all the Gothic horror ingredients and a Psycho-like denouement at the end…a damned good story” (British Theatre Guide)
