Should tales be told within stone - these worn steps would reveal much to the curious.

And never more so than one chilly December eve as a tragedy by the water's edge begins to unfurl and two made good their escape.

"But this is a family matter!"

Words uttered in anger during a fierce family argument in the Spring of 1904 would damn an unrepentant defendant the following year as he stood in the dock of York Crown Court.

Those Ghosts of Christmas Past Await...

I. 'Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness ~ Chinese proverb

Alas, if only the gentleman one chilly Christmas Eve in the year 1853 had recollected those words of wisdom.

And, recollect however that THOSE GHOSTS OF CHRISTMAS PAST now await your kind attention...

By the close of the annual horse fair in the year 1853 and as the visitors made their way home from the City of York - 'twas unfortunate however that the evening would not end well for all.

THOSE GHOSTS OF CHRISTMAS PAST await your kind attention.

YOU walk. WE talk.

If windows could talk?

Would they reveal the happenstance of a young woman intent on a mysterious rendezvous who walks into the dark night never to return?

YOU WALK. WE TALK.

The Box Office Awaits!
