Weeping Bank Library

Weeping Bank Library returns to our stage.

The Librarian opens the creaking door of Weeping Bank Library, and there is a spine-tingling chill as he starts to read a spellbinding Ghost Story.

Read in the style of M.R.James, and enhanced by period props, low light, candles & subtle sound effects, the author, Alan Smith, creates an intimate & unique experience for you the audience.

Alan’s writing and reading of ghost stories began as something the author would share with his family at Christmas, but soon turned into a small performance at his local library and eventually expanding into performances at other venues; keeping more people on the edge of their seats.

The concept of Weeping Bank Library as a repository of cautionary, chilling tales collected from the ‘local’ area soon developed with the author taking on the role of ‘The Librarian’ and remaining in character throughout the readings.

As readings became more frequent and audiences grew larger, it became clear that not only was there a demand for these intimate storytelling events, but that it drew a varied audience, young and old, male and female, couples, avid readers and even fans of classic horror films.

Reviews from audience members, including bestselling authors:

“I came, I saw, I jumped out of my seat,’ bestselling author Robin Jarvis
