Ghost Light

Perfectly creepy and eerie. One little disappointment though : horror movies are just so much stronger when the Ghost/Monster is left to the imagination rather than explicitly showed, and it's all the more true in theatre. Seeing a full actor play the ghost really took me out of it and ruined the suspension of disbelief, when just hearing his voice and seeing only the red eyes at the end would have been much, much more stronger and impressive. Regardless of that detail : this was horror and storytelling done right.

Fantastic ghost story which felt very M.R. James inspired to me.
Loved it and the use of light throughout.

An atmospheric and fascinating piece of theatre with a very effective lighting plot I.e. hand-held candle light lamps which really added to the tension of this ghostly tale. A strong cast create an engaging and absorbing hour of theatre. Well worth finding a slot for it in your hectic Fringe schedule!

A great, creepy and eerie ghost story performance that might keep you up at night. Highly recommended

Absolutely brilliant show! I love the way that this is lit by the lanterns alone, which (as a theatre tech myself) was a lovely, simple touch that really worked well. The acting was superb and the whole story draws you into a spooky and surreal world of another age. Shout out to the tech for great soundscapes. A really good show for those who enjoy the gothic horror vibe.

A wonderful and moving take on the Victorian ghost story. The cast build up the mystery beautifully and the way they blend narrated storytelling and character voices is so well done. Despite playing into the gothic Victoriana of it all they did a great job of keeping the characters grounded and the performances are really compelling.

This play gripped us right from the start. In a genre different from much of the Fringe, this spooky period story is tightly written and presented and avoids cliches. The experience of the cast shows through and interplay between characters is perfectly timed. Very atmospheric. Highly recommended.

The performers were all incredible, especially during the mother’s monologue. Excellent and creative use of lighting and sound, very haunting and atmospheric. Thank you for a brilliant show.

A fascinating show with brilliant dramaturgy! The actors are perfect in their performance, we get drawn into the story very quickly and we remain captivated until the last second! Run to see this show! You will miss your festival if you don't see it!!!

A must see ! A very well written show that captivates you from start to finish in an incredible atmosphere. The actors, the lights and sounds… everything is brilliant. Gave me goosebumps more than once.

Enjoyable and intriguing show with talented actors. Absorbing atmosphere

A wonderfully atmostpheric show which boasts excellent acting and superb use of light (or lack thereof), sound and music.

Just been to see this - absolutely loved it. Very atmospheric, fantastic ghost story and great cast. Highly recommend this.

Seriously spooky! This was a really atmospheric production that kept me gripped. I genuinely didn't see the end coming Excellent use of music and some rather natty lighting conspired with a nicely woven plot to deliver a proper ghost story!

We have seen the show tonight and we absolutely loved it. The actors and the story are great, the atmosphere spooky. Thank you for this experience!

Really enjoyed this atmospheric dark ghost story. Cleverly staged with 5 great actors. Well worth a watch

Fabulous show!! Chilling ghost tale that keeps you captivated throughout, excellent use of the stage and a cast and crew clearly passionate about the brilliant story they have brought to life. 10/10 would recommend if you’re a fan of a spooky haunt and good theatre!

This story was excellent, the show kept us captivated the whole way through! We would definitely recommend seeing this show.

The sense of impending menace and mystery is very skilfully developed in this tale of personal loss, illicit relationships and fear. Tension built up slowly throughout the play to its grisly culmination.

Ghost Light was a suspenseful tale expertly crafted by the actors. They brilliantly used light and dark as one of the characters. Definitely make time in your schedule to see this.
