Gothic Ghostly Tales - Halloween Special

Gothic Ghostly Tales - Halloween Special Event by Words2Music at Harrow Arts Centre!

Gothic Ghostly Tales is a stunning new show from Words2Music, comprising leading London poet Alice Benson, descended from writers E.F. Benson (Mapp & Lucia) and Friedrich Von Schiller (Mary Stuart), with musician and music producer Marek Tribedi. This performance promises a journey through a variety of ghostly encounters, in verse and prose, drawn from intensely authentic personal experience. 

The show is a masterful blend of original spoken word, evocative music and immersive imagery, exploring tales of the uncanny, with reflection and humour in equal measure. Whether a believer or sceptic, you will find these tales challenge your assumptions about what is real and imaginary – perhaps both can co-exist in the shadowland between the known and unknown realms of reality.

Alice is an award-winning published author (Funny and Uplifting Tales, The Power of a Smile, The Power of Light and Shade), Actress (East 15 Acting School Scholarship Award), West End Dancer, Choral Singer and Comedian (Winner ITV’s Take the Mic) and has recently been awarded Fellowship of the Royal Society of Arts (FRSA).

Alice & Marek's performances include Adelphi Theatre, Hackney Empire, Sadler's Wells Theatre, Fortune Theatre, Arts Theatre, BBC Radio London, The Comedy Store Manchester, Edinburgh Festival, Brighton Festival, Fairford US Air Force Base, National Trust, Players' Theatre, Corbett Theatre, Etcetera Theatre Camden, Omnibus Theatre, Harrow Arts Centre, Brunswick Theatre, Concert Artists Association.

Alice masterfully weaves tales of shadow and light, offering a performance that is both hauntingly beautiful and profoundly moving. Don't miss this journey into the lyrical dark. Take this chance to escape the modern world and enter a space of Gothic flickering shadows by candlelight, and powerful words and emotions.
