A new ghost story titled It Walks Around The House At Night is coming to the Lowry this November.
Following a run in London, award-winning theatre company ThickSkin is bringing their new Ghost story up to Salford between November 3-7 November.
Bruntwon Prize-winning playwright, Tim Foley, previously a writer on Doctor Who for Big Finish Productions is set to “bring an expert blend of sheer dread and sharp comedy as Joe, a desperate out-of-work actor,” according to a Lowry Spokesperson.
Joining him is Oliver Baines as The Dancer, a “haunting presence ” that “lingers in the shadows”.
The story of which follows is that during another dull shift at the bar, Joe mistakenly accepts a handsome, rich customer’s offer of an unusual yet generously paid gig as a ghost at an old countryside manor. Expecting a few cheap scares, Joe soon discovers something far more unsettling lurking in the grounds after dark.
The writer, Tim Foley, said: “It walks around the house again! Let’s hope It doesn’t get too dizzy. We’ve had an incredible reception to our production so far, and I’m thrilled this ghost story will continue to horrify audiences across the UK. The question is, are you brave enough to join us?”
ThickSkin is a forward-facing theatre company who aims to create a “Future that is fearless, collaborative, and driven by diverse voices.
They focus on creating platforms across different mediums, bringing a reputation of bold stories to the Lowry, as a Wigan-based organisation.
