Ghost Stories – Tales of the supernatural
By The Paper Cinema

‘Bound to delight’ The Telegraph

LV21 is pleased to host this magical performance in Gravesend. Join the crew aboard for a wintry show for long, dark nights of ghostly tales brought to life through hand-drawn illustrations, masterful puppetry, cinematic projection and live music.

Discover what happened when the Devil came to Cornwall, strange happenings in a bewitched house in Devon, ghostly apparitions in Shropshire and a headless rider in Savernake Forest, Wiltshire. Plus, more ghostly tales…

Fascinating and imaginative storytellers, The Paper Cinema, create unique magical performances. For Ghost Stories, vivid pen and ink drawings capture these stories of the supernatural, accompanied by an eerily atmospheric soundtrack of violin, guitar, musical saw and live looping.

***** ‘Any production by this small British company is bound to be something special’
The Times

***** ‘The pleasure here is not just that the animations are both sinister and enchanting, or that the wonderful music gives the whole thing the feel of a quirky silent movie, but also that you can see how the show is being made right before your eyes. The mechanics are fully revealed, and being able to observe the process in no way diminishes what you see but rather enhances it.’
The Guardian

Produced by Sound UK Arts with funding from Arts Council England
