Although he appears to be unhurt, he has suffered a severe concussion which causes a series of strange hallucinations. During a brain operation, he meets characters from another world, and whilst he undergoes this dangerous operation, his spirit is put on trial. The verdict will decide whether he will live or die.
REBECCA – Thursday 19th November
5.30-8pm – Performance Space.
Hitchcock brought all his narrative skill to du Maurier’s haunting tale of a mousy young woman who meets the handsome, aristocratic widower Maxim de Winter in Monte Carlo and is swept off her feet by his whirlwind courtship. Following their wedding, they move to his Cornish estate Manderley, where the brooding Maxim once lived with his first wife Rebecca. Manderley is ruled over by the sinister housekeeper Mrs Danvers who is ferociously devoted to the memory of her dead mistress and undermines the new wife at every turn.
All tickets are £6 each and are available through the Grimm website.
