Overview

From Author and Performer Chris Wood:

'Death in the Theatre' is a unique show which will scare you, inform you, and entertain you. Our theatres have witnessed so many incredible dark and deathly occurrences, you will be amazed at some of the things that have happened in the very venues you may have been in. I'm so excited to be coming to Swindon to talk about some of these - especially the cases where two people died in a Swindon theatre within a week of each other in unrelated incidents - there's lots of grisly history in Swindon!

Join us for an unforgettable evening of mystery and intrigue as we delve into the dark and haunting world of theatre tragedies. Following the success of his book Death in The Theatre, author Chris Wood presents a gripping exploration of tales from around the UK where the unsuspecting have met their untimely demise within our theatrical venues. From grisly accidents, to murders most foul, prepare to be enthralled by this richly entertaining account - and containing cases from right here in Swindon!
