The Signalman by Charles Dickens

Middle Ground Theatre Company Ltd is delighted to announce a new extended adaptation of their hugely successful production of Charles Dickens' nerve-tingling masterpiece The Signalman. Set in 1880, this is the exquisitely unnerving tale of a tormented signalman who is haunted by visions of impending disaster on his isolated stretch of line. Can a well-meaning traveller, who chances upon the lonely signal box while out walking, calm the man’s fears before he spirals into self-destruction?

Featuring a stunning set and video projections, this is the perfect way to spend a dark autumn or winter's evening...
