About the Show

A chilling new online play by Philip Franks, adapted from the ghost story The Experiment by M.R.James

At night I will come…

From the producers of the acclaimed online productions of Birdsong Online and Apollo 13: The Dark Side of the Moon comes a brand-new supernatural thriller to set pulses racing this Christmas.

1918. The recently widowed Alice Bowles is left destitute as she seeks to solve a mystery left by her late husband Francis.

2020. YouTube urban explorers Matt and Caitlin uncover a mysterious grave in an abandoned churchyard. What starts as harmless entertainment soon turns darker when their discovery begins to unwrap a mystery which has laid dormant for over century.

But some things are better left for dead.

M.R. James’ unforgettable short story is adapted by Philip Franks with a powerful contemporary twist.

This chilling ghost story for turbulent times stars Tamzin Outhwaite (EastEnders), Max Bowden (EastEnders) and Stephen Boxer (The Crown) with Jack Archer (Monogamy), Alexandra Guelff (The Habit of Art), Robert Mountford (The Habit of Art), Poppy Roe (Apollo 13: The Dark Side of the Moon) and Tim Treloar (Birdsong Online).
