Hen Night Horror - Scottish Tour

Oh look, another chance to talk about my favourite new Scottish muscial of the last 5 years. Hen Night Horror returns due to overwhelming demand with a brand new cast. Check out our 5 star review from its first outing and our interview with creators Fraser Boyle and Ali Clelland.

10th - 17th October

It Walks Around The House At Night- Edinburgh and Glasgow

When an out-of-work actor takes a job playing a ghost at an old countryside manor, he expects nothing more than a few cheap scares. But as night after night unfolds, the role begins to blur with reality – and something far more sinister starts to emerge. 

Part ghost story, part psychological thriller, It Walks Around The House At Night draws audiences into a world of creeping dread, unexpected twists and dark humour. A haunted house story for a new era, brought to life through inventive staging, immersive sound and bold visual effects.

8th- 10th October

Witches of Eastwick- Airdrie Town Hall

Alexandra (Alex), Sukie, and Jane, three women living in a small town dominated by local Felicia Gabriel, all share a desire for some excitement to spice up their mundane lives. Wishing for “all manner of man in one man,” one arrives in a literal flash as the devilish Darryl Van Horne. As Horne seduces them, the three women began to explore their powers in this comedic musical.
