Room 13
Fear is just the beginning…
Written exclusively for the Barn Theatre by Duncan Abel & Rachel Wagstaff and inspired by the ghost stories of M.R. James, this world premiere is guaranteed to have you on the edge of your seats with an adrenaline-filled, hair-raising night of entertainment you won’t forget.
In a lonely hotel, four strangers are forced to spend the night in Room 13. Bearing the weight of their own grief, shame and darkness, they come to realise that Room 13 has secrets of its own.
As the four solitary souls develop unexpected bonds, they each share something from their past that still haunts them – stories of a painting that conceals a horrific secret; a macabre song that whispers in the depths of night, and children’s voices that echo from a forgotten well.
As the veil between the present and the past, the living and the dead, becomes frayed, the new companions will have to face their darkest fears if they are ever to escape Room 13…
Think Woman in Black… then scarier!
