Things I Took from the Dark as told by Reece Shearsmith

Behind a normal door, in an ordinary house, lies a museum that is anything but. For decades, Reece Shearsmith has been collecting terrible things. The screaming skull of Glamis Castle, the Highgate vampire, sea devils, witch hunters and a talking mongoose called Gef. Some of them he found. Some of them found him. Now, for the first time, he opens the door. Co-creator of The League of Gentlemen, Psychoville and Inside No. 9, Reece is no stranger to the morbid and macabre. In this live show, he will guide audiences through the bizarre artefacts and obsessions that have quietly shaped everything he has made. Each object in Reece’s collection has a story, and each story reaches further back than the last: from a terrifying childhood encounter on a Hull council estate to haunted dressing rooms, uncanny creatures at the edges of long film shoots, and stranger things still… Working from his illustrated memoir Things I Took from the Dark: The Museum of Me, Reece will move between storytelling and performance, before engaging in conversation with a special guest host. Audiences will also have the chance to put questions directly to the curator himself…if they dare.
