Description
Another evening of Dark Tales comes to Copped Hall brought to you by talented performers.
Another ghost story will be performed by Sinister Masterplan (Laura Sampson, storyteller, and Sam Enthoven, Thereminist).
Making her fourth appearance at the mansion will be storyteller Minne Wilkinson, delving into the darker side of 18th Century life.
Expect to meet Abigail Masham, Queen Anne’s Favourite, as Julia Stallard brings us the story of her journey from rags to riches and her final resting-place at High Laver, not ten miles from Copped Hall.
Returning with more specially-written poems will be Martin and Rose, The Witch of Brussels.
Strange sounds indeed will be conjured, live, by Colombian sound artist Viviana Caro, and Robin the Fog will fill the State Hall with more of his extraordinary live tape-loops, involving your very own voices. In the Housekeeper’s Room, sound artist Karina Townsend will bring us, live, her mysterious underwater night-time sounds from the North Pond, just a few hundred metres from the House.
The Copped Hall Bar will be open, and a roaring log fire will warm you in the ground floor Servants’ Hall. And, new this time: pianist Ben Davis will tickle the ivories as you arrive!
