The Oratory: A Ghost Story for Adults

'One for sorrow, Two for mirth, Three for a funeral, Four for a birth, Five for Heaven, Six for Hell, Seven for the Devil, his own self.'

When The Librarian of Weeping Bank receives a panicked call from Alistair Feveral, he has no idea of the nightmare that awaits him. The contents of a secret book housed in the Archive room at Wrayford Museum leads the two friends to investigate a complex mystery, drawing them into a web of witchcraft and folklore from which there may be no escape.

Some puzzles should never be solved.

Following a sell-out 30 date tour in 2025, Weeping Bank brings one of its most requested tales to Little Sutton Library for the first time - 'The Oratory.' 

'well-written and flawlessly delivered with thespian-level gravitas' Emma Dark, director, actress & columnist for We Belong Dead

Bridging the gap between the page and the stage, Weeping Bank has drawn praise from actors, writers, journalists, storytellers, musicians and academics for its immersive readings.
