See you there. Shhhh.
Day of the Dead is never an ordinary story night.
In the echoing chamber of Portsmouth’s Square Tower, storytellers and songsmiths enchant an audience of souls willing to be chilled and thrilled.
This year’s tales range from summoning the devil to cursing your in-laws, with side orders of best-friend-murder and pet torture.
Highlights of previous show include novelist Diana Bretherick unleashing laughs, cakes and murders in generous quantities; twisted songsmith Philip Jeays threatening friends and antelopes in impeccable rhyme; fantasy/horror writer Justin MacCormack giving us all insomnia.
