The absolute BUZZ of all this. It's been helluva year so far. So much brilliant new talent involved in Tales from Paradise Heights, joining the veteran casts and crews, all pouring their hearts and talents into the ultra collaborative mission of bringing top flight entertainment to beautiful theatres all around the UK. All supported by fabulous teams in those theatres, and truly, truly wonderful audiences all showing their love and enjoyment of these shows.

And then the premiere of my new show, the most terrifying show I have written so far.

WARNING: Whilst there are links to The Haunting of Blaine Manor in the show, it is its own very different story. This is a real descent into psychological horror, this is not of the world of Hammer films meets Hollywood glamour 1950s ghost story. This is something darker. A story of deep psychological horror; superstition and folklore. It's a supernatural mystery, a detective story, a descent into a living nightmare reflecting the world we live in now. It still has heart and soul, but this is more David Lynch than Edgar Allen Poe or M R James. It's a cracker of a thriller, not for the faint of heart. STRICTLY ADULTS ONLY - book the best seats for the Premiere at Burnley Mechanics Theatre on the 26th of July.

NEW TEASER: Three weeks tomorrow 👿🦊🐦‍⬛🐾🦇

A HAUNTING PREMIER: There's a creeping darkness in Paradise Heights, stretching back centuries, and it's haunting the forgotten sea side town.

My new tale - The Haunting of Widow's Leap Farm - premiering in July.

The premiere is on Sunday 26th July. My scariest show so far. Find out more here:

https://www.talesfromparadiseheights.com/the-haunting-of-widows-leap-farm.html

WARNING: This is a real excursion into psychological and folk horror, an experience like no other that has come from Tales from Paradise Heights so far. Unlike The Haunting of Blaine Manor which was set in 1953 and portrayed the cultural world of that time, The Haunting of Widow's Leap Farm is set in the 2000's and will reflect the world of that time. Tickets are already selling very fast.

'What makes Strawberry Jack linger is its honesty. It’s a story about masculinity, violence, and the myths men build around themselves — but it’s also about the tiny flickers of hope that survive even in the darkest corners.

A fierce, atmospheric standout. One of O’Byrne’s most gripping creations — tragic, tender, and unforgettable...'

Absolute Diamond of a review for Sunday's show, huge thanks to Kevin Eccleston of Liverpoolnoise.com

I want to say a HUUUUUUUGE thanks to that wonderful, wonderful audience in Shrewsbury last night, I could even see you all fully immersed in I’m Frank Morgan - RewiRED last night. He’s a character and I’m more than sure you felt his presence 😂😈

It was a privilege to play in front of you, it always is, but last night was extra special, and going up against Simon and Garfunkel in the big house! You made the right decision and I thank you from the bottom of my haunted heart. Lovely Q&A with you all at the end, and thank you so much for coming along. Big thanks to all at Theatre Severn.

Oh, and on a spooky note: When Frank sent that table up in the air and across the stage, one playing card stayed stuck to the table, only one…The Ace of Spades! ♠️ spoooooky 😈

See you all at The Haunting of Blaine Manor on Halloween 🎃

😘❤️x
