The Ghost Train by Arnold Ridley
revived by Jocelyn and Nicolas Ridley
We were delighted to perform a rehearsed reading and recording of this classic play that has delighted theatre-goers for nearly 100 years.
Arnold Ridley’s son Nicolas Ridley was keen to make a few small changes to the original script to make it easier to perform and more likely to be staged. The results were brilliant and all the actors loved the chance of getting to grips with such an energetic and entertaining script.
Even sitting around a table and reading from scripts, the characters and drama came alive.
No spoilers to this exciting plot, but this very scary and entertaining play is as fresh today as it was when Arnold Ridley wrote it in 1927.
