stephen king: live!

Witness the master of horror like you've never seen before! And that's probably for the best.

Brought to you by dedicated fans & members of Team GrimFest.

For one late night only we will be celebrating Stephen King by staging one of his classic horror stories live on stage - what we perform is up to you! Followers have been voting on our social media channels and this year the public have chosen... 

THE SHINING

"Come play with us. Forever and ever..."

Take a room at the Overlook Hotel and settle in for a beloved (if not entirely faithful) homage to the renowned 1980 Stanley Kurbrick film... Yes, we know Mr King was no true fan of the movie but we will be recreating this iconic adaptation in a unique, hilarious and interactive production. Join Jack, Wendy and Danny for a night of all fun and no work in this truly unnerving event. 

Our team will have one week to cast & write our new adaptation entirely from scratch! And less than 24 hours to rehearse, stage & create a set for this one-off fantastic festival fundraiser - anything can happen. A perfect evening for fans of King, comedy and the greatest horror films in history. 

*Stephen King will not be attending.
