The Merchant's House 132 High St, Marlborough, Wiltshire, SN8 1HN

A one-man performance by Toby Burchell

"Yet, in all this quiet, there was an acute, an acrid consciousness of a restrained hostility very near to us, like a dog on a leash that might be let go at any moment."

Join Behind the Door Productions for ‘An Evening of 'Ghost Stories by M. R. James' at The Merchant’s House in Marlborough. This is a candlelit performance taking place on Friday, 26th September at 7pm.

Toby Burchell performs two chilling tales by James, arguably the finest writer of the ghost story genre. Originally narrated by James himself as an entertainment for friends, these are the perfect traditional ghost stories.
