Becquer’s Legends

About the Show

Ancestral spirits, haunted visions and sinister lullabies… Join us for a n evening of other-worldly temptations inspired by the short stories of Spanish Gothic author Gustavo Adolfo Becquer. A Marquis falls into a feverish obsession after glimpsing a pair of emerald eyes at the bottom of a forbidden pool. Follow him as he sets out to find those beautiful eyes… and the creature they belong to. A young countess has challenged her cousin to retrieve her love token from a haunted graveyard but it’s past midnight and he hasn’t returned yet. That night, her chamber is visited by an evil presence…

This new production revives two of Becquer’s Gothic tales, ‘The Green Eyes’ and ‘The Mount of Souls’, and injects them with an extra good dose of hair-raising dread just in time for Halloween.

This event takes place at The Banshee Labyrinth, 29-35 Niddry Street, Edinburgh EH1 1LG
