The Haunted Bride

A spine-chilling play by John Goodrum based on the delectably eerie tale To Be Read At Dusk by Charles Dickens.

When they set off for their honeymoon in Italy, Thomas Manning is happy and carefree, but his young bride Clara is troubled … troubled by a dream, troubled by the dream of a face, three times dreamt in the nights leading up
to her wedding. Amid the shadowy rooms and moonstruck gardens of the peeling, overgrown palazzo where they are to spend the next few weeks, the intangible dread that haunts her reaches its terrifying climax.

“a masterclass … brilliant” (Derbyshire Times)
“a good evening’s entertainment” (This Is Derbyshire)
“intense … we are drawn slowly but inexorably into the
strange pattern of events” (Whatsonstage)
“impressive … fantastic … the audience jumped out of
their skin … a great night out” (The Public Reviews)
… let the haunting begin!
