Böcker av Simon Kurt Unsworth

For reasons that still remain a mystery, author Simon Kurt Unsworth decided to create a theatrical version of several of his short stories and to then help put on the production. Several months of confusion followed, culminating in three performances of what had become known as Quiet Hauntings. Along the way there were edits, wholesale changes, excisions and additions and at least one bout of near hysteria as author, director and cast tried to wrangle ghosts, farmers, cows and a legal mystery into some kind of coherent, dramatic and satisfying narrative. This play is the result.

Nakata's ghosts won't stay dead…A chambermaid's seemingly innocent request is granted, an act of kindness that has dire consequences for a guest…An unearthly light in an abandoned bungalow resolves the mystery of a missing child…An invitation to a clifftop graveyard leads to a harrowing chase by things that remain unseen…In an abandoned hotel, work is underway to upgrade the building but something is stalking the residents…There is a hidden agenda to paranormal researcher Richard Nakata's investigations into these houses. A commission that witnesses cattle lowing in the cow-sheds of Stack's Farm long after they've been slaughtered, and a reckoning in the showhouse of 24 Glasshouse as he and his colleagues pay the price for creating their own ghost…Simon Kurt Unsworth reinvents the classic English ghost story with a portmanteau collection that takes the haunted house genre and makes it scream… quietly.The houses are quiet, it's the residents who are screaming.
