About
Actor Dominic Gerrard performs three classic ghost stories in Chawton House’s Great Hall.
The solo performance brings together W. W. Jacobs’s The Monkey’s Paw, Charles Dickens’s The Lawyer and the Ghost, and Wilkie Collins’s The Dead Hand. The programme moves from a cursed talisman and a lawyer’s unsettling lodgings to a traveller sheltering at an inn. House access begins at 17:30, drinks are available from 18:30, and the performance runs 19:00–20:00. Suitable for ages 12 and over.
