Obscura Theatre
Obscura Theatre is writer, composer, and sound designer Patch Middleton, and director and producer Emily Oulton. Obscura is a North West based theatre company exploring folklore, the fantastical, and its relationship to land and local identity. In 2022, we were shortlisted for both the Untapped Award and the Pleasance Charlie Hartill Special Reserve. We have just launched the second chapter of our audio-walk series, soundlandscape, in collaboration with Ilkley Literature Festival and The Brontë Parsonage Museum. Click HERE for Haworth and HERE for Ilkley to listen. We are also developing A Shanty for an Atomic Town, a new musical fusing sea shanties, maritime myth, and nuclear power. “A unique concoction of the uncanny...” - Creative Tourist

SOUNDLANDSCAPE: The Wild Hauntings on the Moor is a dual narrative audio theatre production which can be experienced self-guided on Haworth and Ilkley Moors. "A Dream of Death" can be enjoyed on its own, or with its companion piece "Shadows on Shadows" in either order.
SOUNDLANDSCAPE: The Wild Hauntings on the Moor - Shadows on Shadows
After a fitful and troubled sleep, a lone wanderer seeks solace in the Moors but finds herself venturing into a dream of death. Walk with our wanderer through the veil and answer the violent invitation of the wild, discovering what spectral figures may be lurking in the distant heather.
