Darker ShoresIt seems fitting that Anthony Clark should end his era as artistic director of Hampstead Theatre by directing a world premiere, underlining the theatre's commitment to new writing as its 50th anniversary year draws to a close. And what fun to direct a cast featuring two fine comedy actors and spin an old-fashioned, bump-in-the-night ghost story. Darker Shores, a new play by Michael Punter, stars Tom Goodman-Hill (The Office, Doctor Who) as the obligatory professor and Julian Rhind-Tutt (The Madness of King George, Green Wing) as the mad (spiritualist) American, who arrives to help. It's Christmas 1875 and all is not as it seems at The Sea House, the professor's old family haunt on the bleak Sussex coastline, a classic setting for a traditional ghost story to take hold and unfurl its eerie fingertips into the deepest, darkest corners. Punter's "spooky, gothic world in which the past haunts the present" (Anthony Clark) is a glorious winter chiller, perfect for alternative Christmas storytelling.

Suitable for ages 11+
 

About Hampstead Theatre

The Hampstead Theatre has existed in various forms since 1959, when it opened in a Scout Hall and its opening season in 1959 included two new plays by Harold Pinter, The Room and The Dumb Waiter. In 1962 the company moved to a portacabin in Swiss Cottage where it remained for nearly 40 years. More about Hampstead Theatre
