Thrilling tale of forbidden love

Directed by Big Telly’s Artistic Director Zo Seaton, The Haunting of Helena Blunden is a thriller set in a derelict Belfast Linen Mill which puts a family on trial to account for their forbidden love and the choices of the heart.

On a dark Halloween night, a disused old mill, said to be haunted, draws to its doors four people with secrets. As a love affair from the past comes back to haunt them, an old woman from a home, an estranged father and daughter and the ghost of a young girl all search for something. Their paths cross and interweave to reveal a dark family past where even half-forgotten melodies can take on an unforeseen significance...

Director Zo Seaton commented: “Sometimes we follow our hearts when we should have followed our head. In this unique, compelling thriller the emotional impact of a long lost love haunts a family from generation to generation.”

The Spring tour of The Haunting of Helena Blunden begins at the end of February, arriving at the Theatre at the Mill, Newtownabbey on March 22.
