Holiday Spirits: A collection of Victorian Yuletide Ghost Stories Adapted by Maria Burnham from sto
During the long nights of midwinter, join Ghostlight Ensemble and the Driehaus Museum by the fireplace(s) as we revive the Victorian tradition of telling ghost stories at Yuletide.
Adapted by Ensemble member Maria Burnham, Holiday Spirits: A collection of Victorian Yuletide Ghost Stories is a multi-story and multi-storied immersive, site-specific adaptations of classic Victorian ghost stories. Three distinct stories will unfold over three floors of the museum. Some seating will be provided, but be prepared to move with the actors as they uncover these otherworldly visitors.
During the Victorian era, newspaper and magazine publishers printed ghost stories during the Christmas season for chilling reading by the warming fireplace. The most famous example of such tales is A Christmas Carol, but Charles Dickens did not invent the Victorian Christmas ghost tradition — he was just the one to recognize its potential for commercial success.
Join us this winter by the fireplaces of the Driehaus Museum's Nickerson Mansion, completed in 1883, as we meet the holiday spirits of Christmases past.
