I Ain't Afraid Of No Ghost

A funny and nostalgic trip back to the 80s in a theatre show for adults and older children about a family home being haunted by a playful poltergeist. It delves back into the childhood of Gareth Nicholl, the director and one of the performers, and draws you into a fascinating paranormal mystery set in a very recognisable suburban world.

Gareth's bedroom in an ordinary family house in Derby is full of classic 'stuff': an army of He-Man figures and some very Hungry Hippos; chart hits captured from the radio on a stack of cassette tapes, and a wardrobe full of interesting fashion choices. But strange things are happening behind closed doors and the disappearance of Dad's Kit Kat is the final straw.
Inspired by his favourite film, little Gareth became a self-appointed Ghostbuster. Now, 30 years later, and with the help of family heirlooms, photos, interviews and real home videos, grown-up Gareth is setting out to investigate what was really going on his supposedly haunted house while his fellow performer and partner, Phillip, provides an acerbic running commentary. Expect a quirky, creative performance that encourages your own overactive imagination and reconnects you with some sounds, sights and flavours of the past.
