This 30-minute theatrical tour—offers a chilling glimpse into Madame McMaster’s world. This immersive play combines Victorian melodrama, camp humour, and spine-chilling horror. 

The story follows Madame McMaster as she invites the audience to explore her private collection of oddities. When an unexpected guest arrives, it sparks a supernatural game of cat and mouse. The show is directed and produced by Toria Cassidy and written by playwright and filmmaker Andrew Campbell – the twisted minds behind the sell-out haunted houses which haunted the cells under Ayr Town Hall in previous years. The cast features local talents Sky Sinclair, Stephen Kerr, Nick Wakeham, and Rebecca McCallum Stapley.  

Fathoms of Fear contains moments of mild gore and darker themes, making it unsuitable for those under 12. The show is likely to sell out, so book early! 

Looking for something spookier? The performances on the 29th, 30th and 31st are for over 18s only…

Unsuitable for those under 12. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.
Time: Various times (event lasts 30 minutes)

Please note we cannot offer refunds to audience members who have attended but decided to leave during the show due to the scare factor.
