Now in it's fourth year, this production includes an original story, which is dedicated to Maine's very own 'Master of the Macabre', Stephen King.Stories include:• The Monkey's Paw by W.W. Jacobs• The Cremation of Sam McGee by Robert W. Service• The Cabin in the Woods by Clay T. Graybeal• The Cask of Amontillado by Edgar Allan Poe• The Librarian by Rhonda Carlson• The Horror of Walker Point by Anthony S. Marino"It's rare that I hear something modern that captures the spirit of Halloween. Sure, there's some scary stuff out there, and some funny scary stuff out there, but Nightmares on Congress Street really catches the fun spirit of Halloween. There are scares and laughs in good measure throughout, and you'd be hard-pressed to find better production quality anywhere." -SFFaudio

  'A remarkable chronicle of resilience and resourcefulness' - Daily MailWhen the worst earthquake to hit Nepal in living memory strikes on 25 April 2015, Jules Mountain is shivering in his tent at Base Camp.To reach the summit of Everest has been a life-long dream, one which he is more determined than ever to realise, having won his battle with cancer two years earlier. The climbers are faced with an impossible set of decisions: to get to a safe zone as quickly as possible? To try to be of assistance in the relief effort? To push on despite everything? All three options have huge implications - moral and logistical - and Julian's unique situation sets him apart from the rest. This is the true story of one man's ordeal during the most deadly disaster in the history of mountaineering on Everest, which would leave over 8,000 dead and thousands more missing and injured; how logic, compassion and risk assessment are affected by altitude, vested interests and the stress of extreme circumstances. While very few of us will ever find ourselves in Jules' boots, Aftershock throws up questions which transfer surprisingly well back to everyday modern life.
