First look images have been released for Anthony Weigh’s new version of Oscar Wilde’s comic novella, The Canterville Ghost, directed by Justin Audibert. The production is at The Unicorn Theatre until 5th January 2020.
In a riotously spooky production for all the family, using magic and spectacular illusion to bring this classic and much loved ghost story to life, Mr and Mrs Otis and their precocious children arrive from America and move into Canterville Chase – a rather old, rather creepy Gothic mansion. Of course, like all the best old mansions, the Chase comes with its own ghost, the rather tired and tormented Sir Simon Canterville. The spectral knight does his best to spook the trespassers from his ancestral home, but his ghostly machinations hold no fear for this rational modern family. Sir Simon succumbs to utter despair until he meets young Virginia Otis, who sees him for who he really is…
The full cast is Nana Amoo-Gottfried (Mr Hiram Otis), Rose-Marie Christian (Stripes), Beth Cordingly (Mrs Lucretia Otis), Annie Fitzmaurice (Mrs Umney), Safiyya Ingar (Virginia Otis), Mae Munuo (Stars, Paul McEwan (Sir Simon Canterville) and Nataniel Wade as Washington Otis.
