Haunted Shadows: The Gothic Tales of Edith Nesbit

8th November 2025

Tom Thumb Theatre

Claire Louise Amias returns in this gripping insight into the darker side of Edith Nesbit, author of The Railway Children at the Tom Thumb Theatre in Margate

7.30pm

An expert at chilling the spine and curdling the blood, Edith Nesbit relates three of her best Gothic tales while recalling her own childhood terrors. In The Shadow, a repressed housekeeper encounters an abominable entity, while in The Pavilion the shadow of a long-dead necromancer envelops a social gathering. Finally, a deranged young woman harbours a deadly secret in a rediscovered story called A Strange Experience.

Following the success of The Masks of Aphra Behn, Claire Louise Amias returns in this gripping insight into the darker side of Edith Nesbit, author of The Railway Children. Renowned horror expert Jonathan Rigby directs this chilling one-woman show.
