We know it will never happen now … but you can get the next best thing with Special Kinda Madness!

Following the international touring success that was Female Gothic, Dyad Productions resurrects a Victorian tradition by presenting three seasonal tales of terror to scintillate the gooseflesh for dark Christmas nights.
This dark celebration of Christmas is adapted and performed by Rebecca Vaughan (Lady Susan, A Room od One’s Own, Austen’s Women, I, Elizabeth, Female Gothic).
