Introduction
The play is set in the early 1900s in Edith Nesbit's attic room on Christmas Eve. As midnight swiftly approaches, Edith Nesbit gives a reading of her work. Not one of her cherished children's tales, but her terrifying early horror stories. As the stories unfold it becomes clear all is not what it seems.....someone in the attic is hiding a deadly secret.
