Inspired by last Saturday's talk by @rosiefiore.bsky.social about the location of Lucy Westenra's tomb in the fictional churchyard of Kingstead, I decided to make a Friday 13th visit to St. Mary's Churchyard in Hendon.

Really enjoyed tonight's play.
It Walks Around The House At Night is part ghost story, part psychological thriller with a folk horror feel.
A surprise ending that you need to see.
Special thanks to @thickskintheatre.bsky.social for assembling a fine cast and crew for this production.
