With a name meaning ‘The Storytelling Ape’, Pan Narrans specialises in a very interesting kind of theatre. Each show deals with the art of storytelling in theatre, so how could they pass up the opportunity to tell some good old fashioned ghost stories?

“At their essence ghost stories provide the listener with a kind of pleasing terror”

Just before Halloween on the 29th October, Pan Narrans will be presenting Ghost Stories at Accidental Theatre and with a bar on site, this is the perfect excuse to get into the Halloween spirit (see what I did there?) a little early. The tales on offer include:
  • Edgar Allen Poe’s The Raven retold by Michael Patrick “an experienced actor and a natural story teller” – Belfast Times
  • Excerpts from Conor McPherson’s The Weir performed by Patrick McBrearty and Catherine Rees “an exceptional level of acting talent” – TheatreBubble.com
  • The Poetry and stories of award winning local writer Phyllis McKenna
  • Spooky Stand-Up from NI Comedian Luke McGibbon “Excellent” – Gigging NI
  • Jonathan Bailie’s Butterflies “Bailie has created a cautionary tale for our times, which could find resonance in just about any large town or city” – Culture NI
  • The Scampi Chips and Tartar Sauce Experience Lunch Time Halloween Special with Garry Crossan and Chris Grant
  • A brand new performance piece by local artist Gavin Turtle.
  • Stories adapted from Pat McCabe’s The Dead School performed by Owen McCavana

Hi, I'm Laura. I'm 30 years old and have a degree in Journalism with Photo-Imaging at the University of Ulster. I have an undying love for Belfast and all that it has to offer, an undying love for sleeping, Tegan and Sara, trashy tv shows, foreign snack-foods and being irresponsible with money. I also quite like origami, reading, jazz, hip-hop, dubstep, anything acoustic and Food Network TV. I've written for The Big List, Culture NI, Chatterbox and The Echo, as well as writing for BBC Across the Line.
