The Place Theatre, Bedford

Bedfringe and Dyad Productions present Female Gothic 23rd July at 7:30pm (Monday)

Directed by Olivier Award Winner, Guy Masterson (Morecambe).

From the company that brought you Austens Women, I, Elizabeth and The Diaries of Adam and Eve

In the unquiet, stygian darkness between life and death, a lone, haunted woman tells chilling tales of the macabre and terrifying, illuminating the curious frailties of human nature

The Victorian fascination with tales of mystery and the supernatural created an enduring legacy of Gothic fiction; but it is often the male writers that we remember. Many thrilling and eerie stories from the great female writers of that era have gathered dust and been forgotten. Until now.

This dark celebration of female gothic is adapted and performed by Rebecca Vaughan (Austens Women, I, Elizabeth, The Diaries of Adam and Eve).

Dyad creates, produces and tours innovative yet classic theatre with a contemporary relevance. With emphasis on new writing and radical interpretations of existing texts, Dyad builds new narrative paradigms that secure the emotional and intellectual engagement between audience and performer.
