A library haunted by the sound of Chopin. The temptations of the supernatural. A disjointed family brought together by loss. All Hallows' Eve is a psychological ghost story exploring one of the great taboos. Sisters Francesca and Lucinda are forced to face up to the erotic demons in their past; as they make this dark journey of discovery they will all but destroy each other along the way. Then when Arthur, a limping stranger with a sinister presence, opens Pandora's Box on All Hallows' Eve, the full impact of the past is horrifically brought into the light. All Hallows' Eve is the Autumn play in David Pinner's Seasons Quartet, a series of four plays which invoke the characteristics of the seasons and dramatise their stories in very different ways. The other plays are the comedy Lady Day (Winter), the messianic parable Revelations (Spring) and Midsummer, a modern homage to A Midsummer Night's Dream.
