Following their mini tour this summer, which ended in a sell out performance at the Barnfield Theatre, EAT return with another chance to see three short terror plays that explore the darker side of the human condition before they take the production to London.

Two are by a true forgotten hero of British Grand Guignol, Frederick Witney. The naturalistic viciousness which Witney injected into his writing resulted in COALS OF FIRE being banned outright when submitted for a license for the 1920's London Grand Guignol.

A blind woman warms herself by the fire as a younger woman confesses she is having an affair with her husband, with dire consequences! THE LAST KISS is Witney's darker adaptation of a Maurice Level short story.

‘He’ is blind & badly scarred following an acid attack by his jealous lover some months earlier. ‘She’, having been imprisoned for the attack, pays him a visit three days after her release… LA MORTE DE L'AMOUR (The Death of Love) is a brand new Grand Guignol play.

Three people find themselves in a room bound to chairs. The husband has fifteen minutes to decide who dies: his wife or his lover... Expect 60 minutes of terror as EAT take you on a macabre journey deep into the darker side of the human psyche.

Tickets: £10 (£8).
