Break a leg to @adventuresofwillseaward who opens tonight in Will Seaward’s Spooky Halloween Ghost Stories at @bostonmanorhouse There are terrifying whispers that this Halloween, Will Seaward will be bringing his legendary ghost-flavoured, vampire-draped, tomb-curdling, high gothic, critically acclaimed, utterly fiendish, very, very silly ghostly tales to Hounslow’s Boston Manor House! Oh no!! RUN WHILE YOU CAN! Expect witches, ghouls, swamp beasts, monsters and torch-wielding ghost hunters, plus one or two special Boston Manor surprises written specially for this show! But be ye warned – audiences may evaporate FROM SHEER TERROR! Fancy dress, voodoo dolls, shrunken heads etc very much encouraged (but especially the fancy dress)…
Described by critics as “a cross between Brian Blessed, Oscar Wilde and a crazed Victorian Music Hall MC” The Telegraph and “genuinely, terrifyingly charismatic” The Skinny, Will has appeared on BBC 2, BBC Radio 4, BBC Radio 4 Extra and BBC Radio 5 Live, plus ABC Australia and Italy’s Rai 3. Will’s shows have received numerous five star reviews and appeared in ‘Best Show’ lists in (among others) the Guardian, The Times, The Sunday Times, and The Independent on Sunday. Will’s cult midnight comedy Ghost Story shows ran for six consecutive years at the Edinburgh Fringe and has toured to ancient church crypts, atmospheric forests, the medieval torture galleries of the National Museum of Scotland, and an old warehouse in Amsterdam where the tales were performed alongside a live jazz band! Will is very much looking forward to adding the fearsome panelled rooms and pointy gables of Boston Manor to this roster of terror…!
