OH, WHISTLE

…Two Ghost Stories by M R James

Performed by Robert Lloyd Parry

Over a century after they were first published, the ghost stories of M R James retain their power to terrify and amuse.  Following his critically acclaimed one-man show A Pleasing Terror Robert Lloyd Parry brings two more of James’ classic spine-chillers back to life.  Performed by candlelight, Oh, Whistle, and I’ll Come to You, My Lad – a tale of nocturnal horror on the out-of-season Suffolk coast – is considered by many to be the author’s masterpiece.  It is beautifully complemented here by The Ash Tree, a story of witchcraft and vengeance down the generations.

Winner of the Dracula Society Hamilton Deane Award 2007. Suitable for ages 13+.

**** Lloyd Parry’s beautifully modulated performance is perfectly judged to send an enjoyable chill down the spine. Metro
***** Riveting… wonderful, magical storytelling. A pleasing reminder that the spoken word can be as spine-chilling as anything in the cinema. The Daily Mail
**** Lloyd Parry is always absorbing, and catches the sense of dread that gives James his originality. The Times
