Tales from Haunted Liverpool is performed by some of Liverpool’s best-loved and multi-talented performers who will take you on a journey into Liverpool's dark supernatural world bringing the characters of past and present to life. The four actors, who will be announced shortly, cleverly deliver readings, performance, musical interludes and haunting melodies utilising every inch of the stunning concert room, making this a unique theatrical experience that leaves you wanting more.

Tales from Haunted Liverpool is adapted and directed by Jen Heyes who has built up an extensive portfolio in theatre production and direction, along with Lorca’s Blood Wedding at the Liverpool Playhouse in November 08 * * * * The Guardian

Director Jen Heyes said “A large number of our audiences are obvious Slemen fan’s but you can equally enjoy them if you are not. Myself and the cast realise that we have a huge responsibility when telling these tales to our audiences as they have already been acted out again and again within people’s imaginations”.

Tom Slemen has written 9 books of ‘Haunted Liverpool’ 2 books of ‘Haunted Wirral’ and the Haunted City book, all of which contains many spine tingling tales of Liverpool past and present, these books have regularly been number 1 in the Liverpool bestselling book charts.  Tom Slemen also has very popular columns in the Liverpool Echo and Lifestyle Monthly magazine and he also has a weekly spot on BBC Radio Merseyside.

Built in the 1840s, St. George’s Hall is widely regarded as one of the finest neo-classical buildings in the world and is a Grade I listed building. The opulent refurbished Concert Room has been a long standing favourite for readings, including Charles Dickens himself who gave so many readings from the stage and regarded it as a perfect venue.

The critics said...

“Each haunting tale was enhanced by atmospheric musical interludes, including Irish sea shanties, and mournful love songs which near left me in tears... Skilfully injecting moments of terror and humour in equal measure, a thoroughly enjoyable way to learn the ghostly history.”
