Combining multi-media and a plethora of exciting acting talent, Don't Go into the Cellar! theatre company bring new adaptations of nineteenth-century literature's greatest ghost and horror stories.

Returning for the third time to our stage, this time with ‘Morbid Curiosities’ (on Friday 13th, of course), a live theatrical anthology of classic ghost and horror stories. The work of Poe, Conan Doyle, Stevenson, Dickens and other masters of the macabre brought to life in finest fear-fuelled fashion!

This chilling original theatre show is the "live" equivalent of the classic horror paperback anthologies of the 1970s! Theatrical adaptations of classic short stories penned by Poe, Stevenson, Lovecraft and their macabre brethren, the show combines live performance with visual media to create a unique mixture of video, theatre, poetry and drama.

Accessibility info:-

Events are generally suitable for adults, young people and older children - children must be accompanied by an adult at all times, however. Young children are also welcome to come along but be aware some poems and songs may contain adult content (although we try to keep these until after children have left!)

Most events are held on our first floor, accessible by a wide staircase with a sturdy banner. Comformatable seating is provided. We regret that, due to space and other constraints, we are generally unable to relocate our events to the ground floor for those who require ground level access - so sorry.

This is Bik, one of our founding directors, on a rare break in the sunshine outside the Art House (you can just see in the distance the site of what is to be Southampton's new Arts Centre come Oct 2015.) Bik organises most of our special events, publices them, and can be found behind the sound desk on most nights or scurrying around, rounding up band members!
