About the event
Directed by Josh Holden
Six passengers find themselves stranded late at night in an isolated Cornish railway station. Ignoring the ghostly tales and dire warnings of the station master, they decide to stay where they are until morning – with terrifying consequences.
Arnold Ridley’s classic comedy-thriller, The Ghost Train, was first produced in 1925, spawned several film adaptations, and has been a firm favourite with theatre companies ever since. Player's Theatre presents the revised version with updates by Jocelyn and Nicolas Ridley, descendants of the author.
This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd on behalf of Samuel French Ltd.
