But the performance is set in the future, explains Emily, in a chilling and eerie room where Madame Mary Wade (played by Winston) is a medium trying to channel the murdered bride and help her to pass over from this world.
In the video, Emily explains that while some of the team are big horror fans, she is ‘a bit of a wimp’ and a ‘very scared human being’ adding “I would be one of those people who falls out of their chair”.
