Jilk w Adam Z. Robinson, Delphine Dora + Jilk
As the storm clouds gather, the thunder grumbles, and lightening flickers we entreat you to enter St John’s to hear tales from gothic storyteller Adam Z. Robinson, a new collaboration with the mesmerising musical collective Jilk. Also conjuring sound and songs from the shadows is French composer and improvisor Delphine Dora with iconoclastic melodies that promise to reverberate and resonate with the space and plunge deep into our souls. A most unexpected expedition into new music and storytelling, join us if you dare?
Adam Z. Robinson is a writer, performer and theatre-maker. He recently embarked on a national tour of his classic ghost show, Haunted. Adam co-wrote Smile Club (✭✭✭✭ The Guardian) with Andrea Heaton, which premiered at Leeds Playhouse. Other work for theatre includes The Book of Darkness & Light and Shivers which have toured to more than thirty theatres nationally. Adam is the founding member of The Book of Darkness & Light and the host of The Ghost Story Book Club podcast.
In ‘The Cry Of The Bubák‘, a haunted man flees to a health facility in mainland Europe to escape his past, only to have it catch up with him in a most horrifying way. The story was originally performed as part of Robinson’s stage play Upon the Stair (“Everyone needs to see this show. Just be warned that you might not sleep well afterwards.” – The Reviews Hub, 4.5 stars).
[please note the collaboration, the final part of todays Daylight will feature a ghost story so perhaps is not suited for the young or faint of heart]
