My new play! Vibes wise- The Mercury Theatre War Of The Worlds meets Late Night With The Devil. Or Me and Orson Welles meets Ghostwatch. When a troupe of radio actors in 1930s New York begin performing their Halloween output they get more than they bargain for in the chilling tales.

I highly recommend travelling to London or Reading (or the other dates if you’re reading this miles from Oxford) saw them play RabidFest and @wardxvi.bsky.social were one of the most interesting bands. @pulveriseuk.bsky.social are also worth turning up early to watch
