Ghostly Tales by Candlelight, is a stunning new show from Words2Music (leading London poet Alice Benson & musician Marek Tribedi). This 45 minute performance promises a journey through a variety of ghostly encounters, in verse and prose, drawn from personal experience.

The show is a masterful blend of original spoken word, evocative music and immersive imagery, exploring tales of the uncanny, with reflection and humour in equal measure. Whether a believer or sceptic, you will find these tales challenge your assumptions about what is real and imaginary – perhaps both can co-exist in the shadowland between the known and unknown realms of reality.

Alice is an award-winning published author (Funny and Uplifting Tales), actress, West End dancer, Choral Singer and comedian (winner ITV’s Take the Mic) and has recently been awarded Fellowship of the Royal Society of Arts (FRSA).

Descended from writers E.F. Benson and Fredrich von Schiller, Alice masterfully weaves tales of shadow and light, offering a performance that is both hauntingly beautiful and profoundly moving. Don't miss this journey into the lyrical dark. Take this chance to  escape the modern world and enter a space of Gothic flickering shadows by candlelight, and powerful words and emotions.

Book your tickets now for a truly unique theatrical experience. Alice's performances include BBC Radio London, Edinburgh Festival, Brighton Festival, Harrow Arts Centre, The Comedy Store Manchester.
