M.R. James Inspired "Warnings"

Londoners still have a couple weeks left to catch a performance of Warnings, a reading of two M.R. James stories situated in a historic crypt. The stories are "A Warning to the Curious" and "Count Magnus." Since details on the official website are a bit sketchy, readers are better off consulting this short review and summary from The Londonist blog:

Until 13 March, Monday to Saturday 7.15pm, Saturday Matinee 13 March at 2.15pm. Tickets: £12-15. Runs 90 mins, no break.

Warnings is one of the more unique ideas for executing "live" weird fiction. Come to think of it, having dramatic readings of works by Poe or Lovecraft in a site like this wouldn't be such a bad idea--though the US is lacking in the sort of time beaten, spooky places that are easily accessible in Europe.
