Lost Hearts

This event has ended

Bewley's Cafe Theatre, Monday 17th October - Saturday 5th November

London, 1903, and Stephen Elliot is rapidly descending into madness and opium addiction.

In an attempt to arrest his decline, leading psychiatrist Doctor Olsen utilises hypnosis to delve deep into the young man's suppressed memories. What is revealed is a terrifying episode from Stephen's childhood, when, as a traumatised orphan, he was sent to live with a reclusive distant relative at the remote Aswarby Hall.

There he experiences increasingly disturbing incidents and is plagued by two spectral children, whose actions drive the story to its blood-curdling conclusion.

Lost Hearts is one of the darkest tales from M.R. James (1862 -1936), who is widely regarded as one of the foremost writers of supernatural fiction. This new adaptation for Bewley's Cafe Theatre promises a chilling hour of horror for the Halloween season.

Threading a blurry line between humour and pathos; yearning and farce; belonging and marginalisation, The Good Crank is an exploration of the flip-flop existence of an older woman at odds with the world she has been squeezed into.
