On a stormy night in mid 1600’s England, we find two travelers caught away from home. They seek refuge at a country estate on their way to London, where they meet a gracious host who offers them shelter for the night. During the course of the evening, a challenge is issued between the men with a sum to be settled upon the victor. The wager: Can literature be frightening? This fast paced play will take you on a visual trip through time exploring plays, stories, poetry and music. Our goal is to entertain you, scare you, and show you that – although it might have been written by some old crusty dead guys who talk funny – it can still send a chill up your spine!
