Penny Productions presents Ghost Stories at Felixstowe Museum

Settle in for an evening of spine-tingling storytelling. Four classic ghost stories, written over a century ago by some of the best-loved writers of the supernatural, are brought to life on stage. No need to know the stories beforehand: just come along and enjoy the chills.

The stories

The Monkey’s Paw by W. W. Jacobs
A family is given a shrivelled monkey’s paw that is said to grant three wishes. But every wish comes at a price.

The Mezzotint by M. R. James
A museum curator buys an old picture of a country house, and notices that something in it changes every time he looks.

The Red Room by H. G. Wells
A confident young man insists on spending the night alone in a castle room that everyone else is too afraid to enter.

A Warning to the Curious by M. R. James
On a quiet stretch of the Suffolk coast, a visitor uncovers an ancient buried crown, and discovers that someone is still guarding it. A story set right on our doorstep.
