About Event
Years ago, a young governess was hired to care for two orphaned children in a picturesque country house. But as the children and the governess begin to see unsettling and captivating apparitions of the former footman and governess, the idyllic setting turns dark. Determined to prove her worth, the governess risks everything to protect her charges. However, her terrifying past may be catching up with her, threatening everything she holds dear.
Described by York Press as “dense with cunning, detailed dialogue” and hailed by East Midland Theatre as “a mind-twisting, otherworldly five-star hit,” this haunting tale weaves suspense and supernatural intrigue into an unforgettable experience.
