TWO CHARLES DICKENS GHOST STORIES WITH A COMIC TWIST

Adapted and directed by Gavin Robertson and performed by Nicholas Collett

From the team who brought "Done To Death By Jove" to this year's Fringe, 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!
A traveller encounters a ghostly chair, and in a deserted Edinburgh carriage-works, a tipsy reveller is spirited away by...well...spirits!

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

Gavin Robertson & Nicholas Collett are recently returned from performances in the USA, Northern Ireland, and shows in Moray & Aberdeenshire
