HighTide have announced the cast for More… Ghost Stories by Candlelight, which begins performances on 15 October, and tours to 11 venues in the East of England before transferring to the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse at Shakespeare's Globe for a Halloween run from 30 October - 2 November.

Emily Ling Williams will direct actor-musicians Becky Barry (Perfect Show for Rachel and Nightshift, ZooCo) and Sharan Phull (The Secret Garden, Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre).

Following the success of last year’s Autumn tour, the company brings together four contemporary ghost stories from Tassa Deparis, James McDermott, Eloise Pennycott and Aisha Zia, each set in a different location in the company’s home region.

All-new for 2024, gather close for a chilling evening of contemporary tales and music from the ‘Haunted Counties’ of East Anglia.

Taking inspiration from ghost stories of old, this contemporary production brings the genre right into the modern age, with settings that represent the writers’ own connections to the East of England, from urban Cambridge to the Essex salt-marsh; leafy Suffolk villages to the bracing North-Norfolk coast.

The creative team also includes musical director, composer and sound designer Anna Pool, and designer Mona Camille.
