Over a century after they were first published, the ghost stories of MR James retain their power to terrify and amuse. Following previous sell out performances, R M Lloyd Parry returns to the Garrick with two more of James' classic spine-chillers.

In Canon Alberic's Scrap-book, a young Cambridge antiquary discovers the devil in the details of an old book in a medieval town in the French Pyrenees... In The Mezzotint a ghoulish revenge is enacted within a work of art, before the helpless eyes of a museum curator in Oxford...

Wonderful, magical storytelling - The Daily Mail

Lloyd Parry is always absorbing, and catches the sense of dread that gives James his originality - The Times
