Haunted by History:

edutainment series

McLeans shot2.PNG

Our "edutainment" mockumentary (what a mouthful!) series are created by Nataliya Oryshchuk and David Allen for the new streaming platform Virtually ÅŒtautahi (the Christchurch City Council). Without this support, we wouldn't be able to share the adventures of the famous ghost hunter and local history buff William Langford of Langfords AND his trusty silver spoon!

 

In each episode, the investigative team of NO Productions Theatre (armed with a shaky camera!) embark on a new spooky historical quest, delving into the past of Sign of the Takahē, Riccarton House, Mclean's Mansion, Cave Rock, and Mona Vale.

​

Haunted by History is lovingly dedicated to Christchurch heritage, and we are hoping to continue and expand this work in the future.
