Tom Hiccup’s Well, a dark, twisted folk horror tale exploring desire, murder and capricious Nature.

Tom Hiccup’s Well, a dark, twisted folk horror tale exploring desire, murder and capricious Nature, by local writer Charlotte Ball

Ever had the hiccups and wondered why? The folk of Grendel have always understood – respect Tom Hiccup, leave his well alone and he’ll leave you in peace. Anger him and who knows what may happen. The old spirits are like that. But sometimes, the indifference of Nature becomes a force for justice. When a man commits the ultimate act of cowardice and a woman’s spirit is left seeking revenge, balance must be restored...

This brand new 45 minute one-woman storytelling show, performed by Ellie Ball, is brought to you by the company behind The Red Room, performed at Erasmus Darwin House last year and reviewed ***** and **** at the Edinburgh Fringe 2024.
