A haunting tale to warm the cockles on a cold winter night.
One-Act Play by Penny Culliford based on Dark Entry, The Legend of Nell Cook from the Ingoldsby Legends by Rev Richard H Barham.
In a dark passage near the cloisters of Canterbury Cathedral, a secret lies buried for a hundred years. Three stonemasons arrive to work on a loose paving stone and the secret is released. A place where evil masquerades as good, and the good are driven to evil deeds but, in the end, everyone gets their just “desserts”.

"For soups, and stews, and choice ragouts, Nell Cook was famous still!
She’d make them even of old shoes, she had such wond’rous skill:
Her manchets fine were quite divine, her cakes were nicely brown’d,
Her boil’d and roast, they were the boast of all the ‘Precinct’ round;"
From The Ingoldsby Legends, by the Rev. Richard H. Barham
