OUR STORY

Three young American classical English literature students, each blessed of a striking beauty, discuss the merits of European Gothic against that of American counterparts. To settle the argument, they visit the old East Village book store, to find one perfect sentence of such astounding excellence to settle the debate for good. 

However, this is no ordinary book shop. It is a place of evil enchantments and dark magic. 

Imagine a world where three of the most influential authors of Gothic Fiction the world has ever known, Bram stoker (Dracula), Mary Shelley (Frankenstein) and Robert Louis Stevenson (Jekyll and Hyde) finally face the creatures they created.

Imagine again, if they were trapped in these books and became these authors!

Cast includes: Olivia Charlotte Cole (Dupris and Durrell, Joyce’s Story), Edwina Lea (D-Day Assassins, 27 Memory Lane) Wendy Laurence James (Moon Fish, Karli), Ray Calleja (In Search of Fear, Next of Kin), Alan Cammish (Buckshot, Wings), Linda Clark (That Peter Kay Thing, Bare), Steven Arnold (Coronation Street, Assisted, Womble Movie), with more cast TBA

 “Parris has all the hallmarks of a great director. He knows what he wants to see in a performance and his actors take on board his direction with respect and admiration. It's a pleasure watching him work.”
