The Ghost Train

(Revised) by Arnold Ridley
Adapted by Jocelyn & Nicolas RidleyIn later life Arnold Ridley became famous for his role as Private Godfrey in Dad's Army, but decades earlier his classic 1920s ghostly-thriller, The Ghost Train, was first produced in 1925. It has been a firm favourite with professional and non-professional theatre companies ever since. Six passengers find themselves stranded late at night in the waiting-room of an isolated Cornish railway station. Ignoring the ghostly tales and dire warnings of the stationmaster, they decide to stay where they are until morning - with terrifying consequences. Finally, all is revealed and the details of a fiendish plot are laid bare.Content warning: May include loud noises and flashing lights.This amateur production of 'The Ghost Train (Revised)' is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd on behalf of Samuel French Ltd. concordtheatricals.co.uk
