Welcome to ‘Modern Horror Stories’. It’s our latest collection of new horror sketches. I’ve always been a horror fan. It’s quite a versatile genre and not one often seen at the theatre.
At face value horror is considered just a rollercoaster of scares and shocks. But dig deeper and quite complex themes and topical issues are often addressed too. So far our shows have covered subjects from social media to simulated realities, and from mental illness to loneliness. Before we sound too high brow we’ve also had zombie boyfriends and killer bananas and everything is served with a large dose of black comedy.
Modern Horror Stories first appeared as collection of 5 short scenes in Halloween 2016 with the intention of heading toward a full length show with a theatre run. That happened at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August 2018. So now it’s onwards and upwards. We hope you enjoy our latest ghoulish offering.
