Day of the Dead II: Hello Darkness
Macabre. Poignant. Gut-wrenching. Pungent.
DAY of the DEAD returns to the Square Tower, as Portsmouth Bookfest presents a chilling evening of new writing:
Day of the Dead II: Hello Darkness
Last year’s show was a sell-out success, with fifteen writers performing original stories, featuring memoirs, song, and an Elvis elegy.
This year is shaping up to be wilder and darker still: murder, mayhem and cake; Freddie, Jack and Frankenstein’s monster; haunted houses, exorcisms and the Tibetan Book of Health and Safety. I shall be hosting a helter-skelter programmer of story and song, future and past, darkness and inspiration, featuring fresh voices alongside novelists, poets, short story writers and archly talented musicians.
There can be no more atmospheric place to spend All Hallows’ Eve than the mighty Square Tower, which has witnessed Portsmouth’s deaths, drownings and disappearances for centuries.
Expect the unexorcised.
