The first play I wrote for my PhD portfolio was about a huge discovery of witch marks in my local cave system back home, now I’m about to enter the final year of my PhD and there’s been a new discovery of witch marks in the same place I’m actually doing said PhD! Magic ✨

We've been bewitched by new finds at Gainsborough Old Hall 🧙‍♀️ Around 20 ‘witches' marks’, traditionally made to protect buildings and those inside against demons, witches or the evil eye, have been discovered by one of our volunteers, Rick, at the hall.

Our gothic play list is live! This is ever-evolving but is largely made up of my current PhD reading list… hence the eight Caryl Churchill texts

Our play recommendation list is now live! This is a growing collection of plays that we think fall freely within the Gothic canon 🎭 You might notice there’s a distinct lack of Shakespeare at the moment… I wonder which of his plays we should add first? 🗡️ lincolngothicgroup.wordpress…
