CFF24: Whistle and I’ll Come To You

'WHISTLE AND I’LL COME TO YOU' A Ghost Story by M. R. James

‘He saw quite clearly for a moment a vision of a wide, dark expanse at night, with a fresh wind blowing, and in the midst a lonely figure’

From the finest writer of the ghost story genre, M. R. James’s 'Oh Whistle and I’ll Come to You, My Lad' tells the tale of a young professor who, whilst walking in an English coastal village, stumbles upon a strange whistle. When blown, this sets in motion a chain of unexpected events ...

In this one-man performance, Toby Burchell takes us through this chilling tale, which is recognised as one of James’s greatest ghost stories. Originally narrated by James himself as an entertainment for friends, ‘Oh Whistle and I’ll Come To You, My Lad’ is the perfect traditional ghost story.

After premiering in Malvern Theatre’s Studio One for 3 sold out performances, this production will now tour theatres and historic houses throughout 2024.

Event Length: 55 mins
