The Nag’s Head
Thu 1 Jan 1970
Welcome to The Nag’s Head: the spookiest pub in Shropshire.
After the death of their father, three estranged siblings return home for the funeral, only to find themselves burdened with a failing pub, a strange painting, and unresolved tensions. As ghost stories surface and the past refuses to stay buried, they must decide whether to work together to save The Nag’s Head — or succumb to their inner demons.
Blending dark comedy, real paranormal accounts, and original live music from folk band Good Habits, The Nag’s Head is an ode to rural England, family ties, and the independent pub.
The production received strong critical acclaim, including a “Highly Commended” mention from the National Theatre, alongside:
★★★★ London Box Office
‘Plenty of smiles to be had’
★★★★ Adventures In Theatreland
‘Clever, thought-provoking and very, very funny’
★★★★ Fairy Powered Productions
‘The bond between the siblings is portrayed beautifully’
★★★★ London Pub Theatres
‘Strikes a pitch-perfect balance between the funny and the macabre’
