Peter Duncan and Daniel Rainford star in a chilling ghost story at Oldham Coliseum this Halloween.

When Darkness Falls is a play that comes to Oldham as part of a national tour just in time for Halloween, from October 25–29.

On a stormy night on Guernsey, a young paranormal expert joins a sceptical history teacher to record the first in a series of podcasts based on the island’s folklore and paranormal history.

The show's illusions are designed by John Bulleid, an associate of the Inner Magic Circle while writers Paul Morrissey and James Milton have worked together for the past 15 years.
