something wicked this way comes

​We’ve been all over the place this spooky season — from witches and scarecrows to ghost stories and zombies! It’s been a whirlwind of frightful fun, and we’ve loved every eerie minute of it. 👻​

Thank you so much for having us again — we absolutely loved bringing our brand new Witches of Oz act to Leicester Haymarket this Halloween! 🧙‍♀️✨Are you a good witch… or a naughty witch?
(We promise, no flying monkeys were harmed in the making of this show!)

While our witches were casting their charms, three of our talented team were busy giving audiences chills of a different kind over at the National Railway Museum in York, performing original ghost stories written by the wonderful Spencer Wood. Among them was Neha Eapen, who you’ll also see on stage this Christmas in Jack & The Beanstalk! 🌟

Meanwhile, our Scarecrows have been down in Crewe, and our Intellectual Zombies are heading to Spooky Con at Stanley Square — ready to terrify (and educate!) anyone brave enough to approach. 🧟‍♂️📚

From all of us here at Same Difference Arts --
Have a frightfully fun and magical Halloween! 🎃💀🕸️
