A Ghost Story by Candlelight

Walter de la Mare's haunting short story Out of the Deep is reimagined for Dennis Severs' House at Halloween. The supernatural tale comes eerily to life when read by a flickering fire in its candlelit Withdrawing Room. Performed by Lisa D'Agostino with music and sound by Dominic Stokes. This is for the curious but not the faint hearted.
