"Twisted
Shakespeare - the terrifying tales!"
Aaaah, Shakespeare! The Bard of Avon.
We all know so much about him...but how much do we really know? With 38 plays and over 150 sonnets it's
no wonder that we sometimes forget things we really shouldn't. So, what if the complete works of the world's
greatest playwright, as we know them today, are
in fact so twisted from the original stories that they are barely recognisable?
This year, for the first time ever, the Dark Arts Theatre Company present the complete works in their truly terrifying
original glory - where Romeo isn't a lovestruck teenager but a manic stalker with anger leaving him teetering on the brink
of sanity; where Prospero was a power crazed madman intent on world enslavement; Hamlet was a cuckolded fool and Falstaff
a twisted psychopath.
Join us for a truly scary experience this year as we present "Twisted Shakespeare -
the terrifying tales" at Warwickshire's premier scare attraction and original Theatre of Fear - the Victorian Imagiscarium.......
that is, if you think you're brave enough.....
Please note that
these events are not suitable for children and carry a 15+ age guidance.

The Stratford Ripper Experience
Every other night.......
Details
coming soon.......
In the late 1700’s the sinister streets and alleyways of Stratford were full of fear, terror
waited around every corner and vagabonds lurked in the shadows. It was a town full of opportunities and just as full of danger
for the unwary traveller. One winters evening in 1788 a particularly brutal crime took place in Henley
Streets the White Lion Inn with repercussions that stretched through the centuries. Join us in the
only remaining part of the infamous White Lion for a terrifying encounter with the notorious serial killer known as the Stratford
Ripper where you will fear not only for your safety but even your sanity ~ that is, if you think you’re brave enough…..
