    The Chilling Tales of Yuletide: The Festive Spirit

    Amber has booked the latest flight home for Christmas Eve in the hopes of avoiding the majority of her family's celebrations, as well as Uncle Jerry's infamous drunken dance to 12 Days of Christmas, while Sara has been forced to work the last Christmas Eve shift at the airport bar when she would literally rather be anywhere else. The two are unsatisfied with their lot, until a mysterious stranger offers them a wager to read their fortunes and change their present, but as she reads their cards hidden things are revealed and spirits of the past return....after all, Christmas is the perfect time for ghosts. Written by Lana O'Kell. Originally performed in 2019. Cast: Amber: Shalaka Kalyanpur Sara: Nicola Proctor Deirdre: Deanna Davis Fiona: Luki Goddi Cassandra: Lana O'Kell

    2022: The Screaming Skull

    For the best audio experience, please use headphones.  In the second annual edition of The Chilling Tales of Yuletide, we have a full-length adaptation of the 19th century short story, The Screaming Skull.  After the death of his friends, Dr and Mrs Pratt, Captain Braddock takes up residence in their former home. Yet he soon becomes convinced that the skull he found in the upstairs bedroom screams every night, haunting him, and that it was the cause of Dr Pratt's death. When investigators Miller and Shaughnessy (a believer and sceptic respectively) arrive to learn more about the situation on the night before Christmas Eve, Captain Braddock explains the haunting, as well as his theory that the skull belonged to Mrs Pratt and that her husband killed her. A half-tormented man himself, Captain Braddock is erratic in his explanations and retellings, and even Shaughnessy's scepticism is slowly put to the test as the haunting of the skull begins to drag them into the tale of murder and betrayal and guilty consciences.  Based on the story by Frances Marion Crawford and adapted by Lana O'Kell.  Sound Editor: Tori Taylor Captain Charles Braddock: Pete Lutz Miller: Joshua Chadwick Shaughnessy: Lana O'Kell
