The Ghost Train

USER (05Oct06): Ian Dicken's latest rivival of Arnold Ridley's - Dad's Armys Private Godfrey - classic play manages to mix comedy, drama, suspence and the supernatural all in evening. A cast of TV stars, led by Stephen Beckett playing the irriatable ass Teddie Deakin, all put in a comendable performance. Noteworthy is Oliver Stoney in the role of newlywed Charlie Murdoch, and Julie Buckfield whose screaming at key moments wouldn't be out of place in any horror film. Also mention must be made of Victor Spinetti's stationmaster - crotchty old man determined to get rid of his unwanted passengers. There is plenty to entertain the audience, and keep them on the edge of their seats - as well as jumping out of their skins. Even the jokes about the state of the 1920s railways wouldn't go amiss on todays audience. As Tedie Deakin would say the evening was "Priceless" 4
