When the darkness knocks...

We are a bi-monthly Manchester-based cabaret night, showcasing brand new work: drama, fiction, poetry, music, comedy, storytelling, spoken word, and more. We also produce one-off specials in places that we think are cool and think you might too.

First Draft

It’s Halloween, and there is a darkness calling from a building that has witnessed the shadows of history flood the city. Chetham’s Library has soaked itself in secrets and stories and now First Draft coming to let the building speak. Our incredible line-up of performers will be sharing new music, stories, poetry and drama to tell the tales that the building cannot speak itself. Our performers will explore the creepy, strange and dark in this thick-walled, medieval building. Can a place ever shake it’s past? And if that past is as a priests residence, a prison, a gunpowder factory, a stately home and a school — what happens when all those histories wake up at once? The event is free, although we will be taking donations on the door, and you need to book. Where will you be when the darkness knocks…? <A CLASS="_58cn" HREF="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/darknessknocks" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">#darknessknocks</A> Our creeptastic line-up of spookifiers: Rosie Garland Jack Nicholls Ella Otomewo Abi Hynes Kate Feld Jez Hewes Julie Burrow Harry Jelley Hosted by the ever eerie Andrew Williamson
