—–

THIS PRODUCTION HAS NOW COMPLETED ITS CURRENT TOUR.

The Signalman By Charles Dickens
Adapted by Francis Evelyn
Designed & directed by Michael Lunney

Dickens’ exquisitely unnerving tale of a tormented signalman who is haunted by visions of impending disaster on his isolated stretch of line. Can a well meaning traveller, who chances upon the lonely signal box while out walking, calm the man’s fears before he spirals into self destruction…?

The Waiting Room By Robert Aickman
Adapted by Francis Evelyn
Designed & directed by Michael Lunney

A World Stage Premiere stage adaptation of Robert Aickman’s “The Waiting Room”. Having missed his connection, George Pendlebury is forced to spend a night alone in Casterton’s old station waiting room. Frozen half to death, he awakes after midnight to find that, perhaps, he is not alone after all…

A perfect way to spend a dark autumn or winter’s evening…..

Award-winning veteran actor Jack Shepherd has a long and distinguished career in film, television and on stage.
