Overview

When you think Halloween, you probably don't immediately think theatre. However, there's something spooky about heading down into a crypt for a show — so, if that sounds like your cup of tea, Deadhouse: Tales of Sydney Morgue is for you. Down in the crypt of St James Church, the second season of Deadhouse promises a collision of Aussie history, true crime, and drama across two immersive plays.

Kicking off between October 23 and November 9, you can catch the return of Louisa Collins: A Poison Crown. The tale sees 19th-century widow Louise attempt to prove her innocence in the murder of her two husbands. Or, if a story of jailbreak and life on the run tickles your fancy, you'll want to check out Simmonds & Newcombe: The Deadly Run from November 20–30.

For each show, a guide will take audiences through the eerie tunnels and rooms, while the dark scenes play out around you. Since both shows run twice a night for an audience of less than 30, you'll want to get in quick and nab your spot.
