The Ghost of a Smile

Friday 18 November, 2022 at 7:30 pm

Adapted and directed by Gavin Robertson & performed by Nicholas Collett

From the team that brought you “Done To Death By Jove!”, “Spitfire Solo”, and “The Six-Sided Man” comes the perfect ghostly
experience!

Two of Charles Dickens’ creepy tales – with a comic twist. Tales with a tingle, but also a giggle! Two yarns to chill and charm! Stories with a shiver and a smile!

“The Queer Chair” from “The Pickwick Papers” tells the story of Tom Smart, who, sheltering from a storm for the night, gets more than he bargained for…from a wizened and debauched piece of furniture!

“The Ghosts of the Mail” – After a well-lubricated supper in the Old Town of Edinburgh, Jack Martin climbs into a compound containing the derelict skeletons of old coaches and falls asleep, whereupon he wakes as a passenger on an eighteenth-century mail coach, with three creepy companions.

Show – 90 minutes including interval.

Like “The Woman in Black” – but funnier, with fewer people!

“Robertson and Collett are exceptional!” Kansas City Star

“Compelling to watch…” The Guardian
