No-one is listening … who’s there?

MASTER storyteller Vic Llewellyn comes to Stockland village hall, near Honiton, on Sunday 23rd November, with a wintery story to make your blood run cold, No One is Listening’(A Ghost Story), a funny and heartbreaking ride through a landscape of ghosts, forgetfulness and fading memories.

How do we preserve what is beginning to fade?

When a (not so) famous actor Malcolm Aldcroft adapts the renowned ghost story, Canon Alberic’s Scrapbook by MR James, his aim is to cause the audience’s spines to tingle, and their hackles rise. He tells a tale of a haunting, so terrifying that we will question what is real and what is fiction.

Malcolm guarantees a monster will materialise if the fear level of the room rises. With the aid of his FEAR-O-METER, music and puppetry, he explores the things we fear the most.

Drawing on the traditions of ghost stories, and his own distinctive style, Vic weaves a semi-autobiographical tale of haunted journeys, lost friends and the slow unravelling of memory. At its heart is an actor facing the loss of his most treasured possession: his memory.

Following on from his previous shows, The Castle Builder and A Little Death, Vic continues in his commitment to push the boundaries of storytelling in theatre. The new show, with a haunting original soundtrack and songs, puppetry and magic, conjures up a mysterious and ghostly world for the audience.

No-one is listening (A Ghost Story) has six dates with Devon’s Villages in Action rural touring organisation – Friday 21st April at Ashburton Arts Centre, Saturday 22nd at Brentor village hall, Sunday 23rd at Stockland, Thursday 27th at Sidmouth Manor Pavilion theatre, Friday 28th at Combeinteignhead village hall and Saturday 29th at Bigbury Memorial Hall, all starting at 7.30pm.
