Director Jen Heyes said �A large number of our audiences are obvious Slemen fan�s but you can equally enjoy them if you are not. Myself and the cast realise that we have a huge responsibility when telling these tales to our audiences as they have already been acted out again and again within people�s imaginations�.
Tom Slemen has written 9 books of �Haunted Liverpool� 2 books of �Haunted Wirral� and the Haunted City book, all of which contains many spine tingling tales of Liverpool past and present, these books have regularly been number 1 in the Liverpool bestselling book charts.

Built in the 1840s, St. George�s Hall is widely regarded as one of the finest neo-classical buildings in the world and is a Grade I listed building. The opulent refurbished Concert Room has been a long standing favourite for readings, including Charles Dickens himself who gave so many readings from the stage and regarded it as a perfect venue.
�Each haunting tale was enhanced by atmospheric musical interludes, including Irish sea shanties, and mournful love songs which near left me in tears... Skilfully injecting moments of terror and humour in equal measure, a thoroughly enjoyable way to learn the ghostly history.� - Click Liverpool.
�Great storytelling at its best and in stunning surroundings, an excellent evening!� - Susan Lee, Liverpool Echo.
