Wimborne Drama Productions present The Ghost Train

A comedy thriller by Arnold Ridley

A group of passengers are left stranded in the waiting room of an isolated railway station on a dark and stormy night. But when the old station master warns them about a ghost train that haunts the tracks after dark, bringing death to anyone who sets eyes on it, the evening starts to take one chilling turn after another.

Arnold Ridley – best known of course for playing Private Godfrey in Dad’s Army – was inspired to write the story after becoming stranded overnight at Mangotsfield station near Bristol, now a disused station, on the Midland Railway main line.

This classic 1920s comedy thriller is being staged by Wimborne Drama Productions by special arrangement with Samuel French, LTD., and is directed by David Pile and designed by Colin Pile, the team behind the 2015 smash hit plays The Ladykillers and The Hollow.

Warning: flashing lights, theatrical smoke and live gunshots will be used in this production.
