Finally, a deranged young woman harbours a deadly secret in a rediscovered story called A Strange Experience.\n★★★★  ‘A dazzling display of versatility … a must-see.’ West End Best Friend\n★★★★  ‘Frightening … Amias plays Nesbit brilliantly.’ Reviews Hub\n★★★★ ‘Deliciously creepy … Highly recommended.’ London Theatre 1\nClaire Amias has worked extensively on stage and screen, including No 1 tours, Paul Taylor-Mills rep seasons, Southwark Playhouse, plus the feature films Borley Rectory and Provoked.\nQ & A with actor Claire Louise Amias and publisher Raymond RussellAfter the show Claire will talk with Raymond Russell of Tartarus Press about Nesbit’s weird tales, their importance in Gothic literature, and why both of them felt the need to bring them to light again – creating a stage show in Claire’s case and republishing Nesbit’s short stories, some of them for the first time since the 19th century, in Raymond’s.
