About Haunted Shadows: The Gothic Tales of Edith Nesbit

Finally, a deranged young woman harbours a deadly secret in a rediscovered story called A Strange Experience.Following the success of The Masks of Aphra Behn, Claire Louise Amias returns with this gripping insight into the darker side of Edith Nesbit, author of The Railway Children. Renowned horror expert Jonathan Rigby directs this chilling one-woman show.
