Box Tale Soup to Return to Brighton Fringe With CASTING THE RUNES, May 4-June 1
by Diana Heisroth - Mar 26, 2014
Following on from the success of their Northanger Abbey and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - both brought to life with just two performers, a vintage trunk and a troupe of puppets - award winning Box Tale Soup want to chill your heart this time, not warm it, as they turn their imaginative eye to the classic ghost stories of English author M.R.James. Their new show, Casting the Runes, is a fresh take on the writer's most famous story, following scholar and sceptic Edward Dunning, whose life becomes a waking nightmare when he crosses paths with the enigmatic Mr. Karswell. In a desperate race for survival, Dunning must uncover the truth before Karswell's mysterious powers claim another victim.
