About ArtsGroupie
Ghost Stories By Candlelight is a horror and fantasy theatre show by ArtsGroupie, performed at theSpace @ Venue 45 during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The show takes place by flickering candlelight, where spectral shadows raise the question of whether the mind is playing tricks or whether something more sinister is at work. ArtsGroupie blends classic frights with a contemporary sensibility, reviving a time-honoured tradition of late-night ghost storytelling. The show has run for three years in the North West of England before coming to Edinburgh.
Why see this show?
Candlelit, late-night, and built on the oldest storytelling tradition there is — ArtsGroupie's show earns its atmosphere rather than relying on technology. If you want to feel genuinely unsettled, this is the show.
