The Haunting of Helena Blunden

The Haunting of Helena Blunden

A doorway. A stairwell. A story. Two women: one desperate to cross over the threshold: the other desperate to escape.

What is it on the other side that makes eighty-year-old Maggie want so badly to go in? What is it that has terrified Susan into packing up and leaving? And why does the story of the mysterious Helena Blunden still hold them both there? This is thriller, ghost story, musical. Set in modern Belfast in a converted linen mill it has more twists and turns than the yarn winding its way round the spindle. Just when you think it's time to relax, sit back and breathe easy, the breath is knocked right out of you.

Written by Bernie McGill & Paul Boyd
Directed by Zoë Seaton
