Sun 25th Oct 19:00

'Sometimes, you know, you see him, and sometimes you don't, just as he pleases. I think: he's there, but he has some power over your eyes… He won't forgive me, I can tell that. And I was so happy a fortnight ago.'
A Warning to the Curious is the third instalment of Nunkie Productions' M R James Project, following the critically acclaimed A Pleasing Terror and the award-winning Oh, Whistle…
Lost Hearts features one of James' most memorable black magicians, the predatory Mr. Abney. It is paired here with one of James' most poignant and personal works: A Warning to the Curious, inspired by the author's holidays in Aldeburgh, a young archaeologist is haunted by the guardian of an ancient treasure.
