Gerard Logan: Visits from the Darkness

Sun 6 Dec 2026
A close-up, sepia-toned image of a hand gripping a round doorknob on a dark wooden paneled door. The scene has a grainy, sketch-like texture and dramatic lighting, creating a vintage, mysterious atmosphere. The hand extends from a dark sleeve, and no face or other people are visible.

Award-winning actor Gerard Logan performs an evening of chilling literary storytelling, bringing supernatural tales of terror to life, including Charles Dickens’ The Signalman.

Nighttime. We all fear the monsters are of our imaginings – patient, malevolent, supernatural – to be lurking in the darkness. But our own terror may, on occasion, summon these creatures out of our imaginings and into reality.

Visits from the Darkness is an evening which explores this phenomenon:

Charles Dickens’ The Signalman which tells of a solitary man relentlessly haunted by a malevolent spectre.

FP McGreal’s The Cabinet of Cruelty tells of an arrogant writer-brodcaster who, with terrifying consequences, ignores the pleas of a character he himself has created.

Directed by Gareth Armstrong 
Performed by Gerard Logan
