Pentabus and HighTide will present Even More... Ghost Stories by Candelight. Directed by BAFTA-winning Pentabus Artistic Director Elle While and dramaturged by outgoing HighTide Artistic Director Clare Slater, who will shortly become head of Play Development at The National Theatre.
it follows it follows two successful Ghost Stories tours, each entirely standalone, to thrill and terrify this Halloween season. The show will tour 6th October - 8th November 2025, including dates at Bristol Old Vic, MAC Birmingham, Ludlow Assembly Rooms, BAC London, and the East of England.
Clare Slater said today, "My last season at HighTide is a true celebration of what makes the company, our writers and our region so vital. New writing is the lifeblood of theatre and I'm proud of the part HighTide plays in championing it. Our new mission of developing playwriting talent in the East is working - evidenced by the many, many brilliant writers we've commissioned over the last three years including this season's Rosa Torr, - a Norwich-based writer who came up through our Writers' Group and whose ghost story will shortly be touring across the UK."
Ghosts don't always stay in the past. The sell-out success returns with four brand new spooky stories from award-winning writers. In an ambitious co-production between HighTide and Pentabus, this year's Ghost Stories by Candlelight will draw you into the secretive corners of the East and West of England. Join us by the candles. Just don't let the light go out.
