Rumpus Theatre Company presents a fiendish new play, The Devil’s Bride, at Halton Borough Council’s Brindley Theatre, Runcorn on Wednesday 24 October.

The play is based on the chilling story by classic Victorian Gothic horror author Sheridan Le Fanu.

Aspiring 17th Century painter Godfried Schalken seeks an apprenticeship with famous artist Gerard Douw, and falls in love with Douw’s niece Rose. But Douw achieved his fame by making a pact with the Devil, and when Gerard attempts to wed Rose, his evil rival returns to claim his wicked prize.

Last Autumn’s production of The Red Room at the Brindley Theatre was described as “captivating” by the British Theatre Guide and recommended “to anyone who enjoys sitting on the edge of their seat” by whatsgoodtodo.co.uk.

The Devil’s Bride is the perfect Gothic Horror treat as evenings draw in!

Tickets are £16, £14 from www.thebrindley.org. uk and the Brindley box office on 0151 907 8360.
