Arnold Ridley’s
The Ghost Train (Revised)
Fear The Whistle Screaming!!
It is a dark and stormy night. Six travellers have missed their connection and find that they must spend the night in the damp and gloomy waiting room of Fal Vale station in deepest Cornwall. But the cold mist creeping under the door and the flickering gas lamps are not the worst of their problems. The stationmaster tells the story of a terrible accident many years ago, and of the mysterious ghost train that storms through the station each night, “catch the driver’s eye and you die”. Just as the travellers are laughing off such nonsense, the first lights of the ghostly train appear, and the stationmaster abruptly falls dead! With the ghosts of the past terrifyingly close, the travellers soon regret their decision to stay the night. However, as in any good whodunnit, nothing is quite what it seems…!
Join the ghostly shenanigans, if you dare!
Arnold Ridley’s (best known as Private Godfrey in Dad’s Army) famous play, promises audiences a night of spooky suspense, tongue-in-cheek mystery and theatrical thrills. Gripping, Ominous and Haunting.
