Golden Goose Theatre 26-29 October 2022

TW 1080x1080.jpeg

​Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the theatre…

​

After the sell-out success of 2021’s Terrifying Women, Morgan Lloyd Malcolm, Sampira & Abi Zakarian return to the Golden Goose Theatre for Terrifying Women II: The Return, featuring six new tales of horror and suspense to spook and surprise you.

TW II: The Return features three new tales from the Terrifying Team, plus stories from three new writers, Rebecca Batala, Kandy Rohmann and Peyvand Sadeghian. The evening will take you from the deep shores of the Caribbean to the grey walls of a corporate office, from internet lore to childhood tales, from serial killers to inner demons, for a night you won’t forget.

Featuring:

​

Rubble by Rebecca Batala

Spray, wipe, repeat. 

Spray, wipe, repeat. 

A cleaner struggles to get a room ready for a meeting. If only people would stop dying and leaving such a mess…

​

Beware the Old Woman in the Woods by Morgan Lloyd Malcolm

An older woman tells a story from her childhood, when she was dared to go up to the creepy old house in the wood and the terrifying experience she had there. 

But now, years later, she is that old woman - and she needs to decide what to do about the kids knocking at her door. 

​

Carib's Leap by Kandy Rohmann

Welcome to Grenada! Tour guide Nella can’t wait to show you around.  Here, in Carib’s Leap, the indigenous tribes of the island leapt to their deaths rather than surrender to the French.

Nella is here to educate and entertain you on the island’s rich, dark history...but she’s need something from you in return.

​

Restless by Peyvand Sadeghian

Ari is a bad sleeper and always has been. They’ve tried everything to fix it, from meditation, to medication, but restless legs and a general unease keeps Ari up all night. 

When Ari's body finally stops trying to run, it is not a good night's sleep they're rewarded with. Instead they're confronted with a family history they knew nothing about (and wished it had stayed that way)...

 

Back to Back by Sampira

In 2019, an urban legend was born that alluded to a vacant, inescapable place, accessible only by an accidental knocking out of our reality. It had been reported an internet user had just made up it. Harmless.  Through this witness testimony, 150 years later, we acknowledge how wrong we were.

​

Serial Numbers: Society's Obsession with Mass Killer by Abi Zakarian

Terrifying Women are delighted to host this lecture by eminent US criminal psychologist Professor Laurie Regan, who will share her decades of experience profiling some of the world's most prolific serial killers to lead a challenging talk centred on society’s fascination with, and feting of, some of the worst mass killers in history. Why are we so obsessed with these individuals? Book early to avoid disappointment.
