The House on Cold Hill: 18-23 March
Many of us spent many an hour this year hiding behind the sofa whilst watching Netflix hit the Haunting of Hill House. If you were one of them, then you might just be brave enough to visit the Theatre Royal to witness a similarly ghostly tale live on stage. The House on Cold Hill tells the tale of the Harcourt family who move into a dreamy Georgian mansion only to discover it to be more of a paranormal fuelled nightmare.
This is bound to be a frighteningly good watch as it’s written by No.1 bestselling author and crime writer, Peter James.
Tickets start from £14.50. Find out more here.
