Details

Deep in the Berkshire countryside sits Canterville Chase, a rambling manor house with a fearful history. Centuries ago, in front of the library fire, Sir Simon de Canterville murdered his wife. Ever since, his guilty spirit has roamed the house, haunting generations of residents. All that is set to change, however, with the arrival of the Otis family from New York... The Canterville Ghost features four valiant vaudevillians - a mysterious magician, a crazy comedian, a spirited psychic and their charismatic compere - with original music played live on stage. These extraordinary entertainers will bring their sensational variety acts to the stage - woven into Oscar Wilde's spooky story of the ghost of Sir Simon de Canterville, who vanished without a trace 300 years ago.
