The Long Pack
A gang of burglars come a cropper in a Northumbrian country house, in this strange tale from the North Country. It’s basically an 18th century Home Alone, with a trigger-happy teen, a put-upon parlour maid and a haunted backpack.
Alasdair is back from his tour, with a fresh stack of pamphs in hand! This tale of thwarted crime comes from the legendary Ettrick shepherd, James Hogg.
Come see us in Oxford on the 1st July 2026
