Experience two of Japan’s most famous ghost stories in York – in a musical show.

Kwaiden: Japanese ghost stories will be shown at Theatre @ 41 in Monkgate on Sunday the 19th of November. 

The show will include a story about a young woodcutter whose life is spared by a mysterious snow woman and a blind musician whose life is in peril. 

York’s Kaminari UK Taiko Drummers will perform specially written and adapted pieces in this unique show. There’ll be big-screen narration by Jonathan Goodwin and will feature special guest Michael Graham on koto (Japanese harp) and the atmospheric biwa (Japanese lute).

The show will be in english with subtitles.  

Tickets to the show are £12 and are available on the Theatre@41 website.
