Frozen Scream, The
Synopsis:
Based on the lost 1928 supernatural murder-mystery novel, The Frozen Scream tells the chilling tale of a group who find themselves stranded at an abandoned lodge in the depths of winter. Forced to entertain themselves, they begin to tell the tale of Jack Frost, the most terrifying of the Frost Giants. But as the story takes a shocking twist, they discover they should have heeded the early warnings to beware the ice'. Surrounded by mystery and intrigue, the original novel was quick to receive critical acclaim but fell out of favour when a series of mysterious deaths led to the belief that the novel was cursed. Undeterred by these conspiracy theories, Olivier-award winning entertainer Christopher Green (Tina C, Ida Barr, Office Party) and one of the UK's best-selling novelists, Sarah Waters (Tipping the Velvet, The Little Stranger) bring this largely unread work to the stage in an adaptation that will send shivers down your spine this winter. But is everything as it seems?

Singing Hypnotist, The
Synopsis:
The Singing Hypnotist will change your life. He uses songs to heal, transform and put you under. It's a combination of clinical hypnotherapy, stage hypnosis, original music and good old fashioned showbiz, researched by Christopher Green, as part of being the first Artist in Residence at the British Library, and supported by the Wellcome Trust. This is part revivalist meeting and part medicine show. The Singing Hypnotist may be a showman, even a snake oil salesman, but his skills are based in the latest scientific research. How would it be if he really could help you let go of pain and painful habits? Who is to say that every word he sings isn't true? What if you're laughing too much to notice?
