The Haunting of Blaine Manor: The Rise Continues...

It has been an absolutely spectacular journey for the play so far.  From the show's humble beginnings in pub theatre it has steadily grown from strength to strength, playing wonderful venues from coast to coast.  In addition to the many beautiful theatres we have played so far, there are some truly breath taking venues on the upcoming tour,  some of those in excess of 1200 seats.  

​That's progress.

Everywhere the play has been performed the reception has been nothing short of fantastic.  Don't take my word on that though, judge for yourselves in the video below, taken at the end of the show at the last 5 venues:
And there's more than a few good reasons to see the show in these interviews with audience members.  By the way this was filmed after one of our Halloween shows, which is why some of the interviewees are dressed and 'made up' for their own personal celebration of Halloween night.
The next tour, starting in September, will be our biggest yet and I intend to reach every corner of the U.K. with it.  I have a lot of bookings in so far, but due to Covid backlog for theatres (productions cancelled due to Covid and therefore rescheduled)  a lot of theatres are fully booked up well into next year - so I'm planning well ahead.  You'll find that venues will be added all the time to the current schedule as I'm constantly in touch with venues approaching them with the show.  It takes time from original contact to getting those dates as theatres like to plan out their year's theatrical programs accordingly.

The reviews have been superb, a huge thank you to all the reviewers who have attended and taken time to write those reviews, we really, really appreciate your efforts and of course your praise for the show.  Check the reviews out, along with some stunning photography from Karen McBride, Shay Rowan and Darren McGinn, at this link:

Cairo, the medium (Andrew Yates) does he have his own ulterior motives for being at Blaine Manor?
There is plenty more to come from the most talked about haunter since The Woman in Black, below is the current trailer for the play and the tour schedule so far.  Please note that not all of the theatres will have the show on sale just yet, as we are pretty far ahead in some schedules.  

Stay up to date with all things about the show either here, or at the show's Facebook page:

And just to reiterate; a final huge thanks to all of the venues, management, staff, reviewers and of course you wonderful audiences.  You have all been amazing, we take nothing for granted. Thanks for your fantastic support and we hope to see you again out there...

Be well.
