Ghosts (Poulton)

"We may even be ghosts ourselves. I look out there -- everywhere there are spirits -- everywhere -- in numbers like grains of sand. And we're all -- all of us -- so pathetically afraid of the light."

  • Full Length Play
  • Drama

Oswald returns home from Paris to honour his dead father. As his mother begins to feel the presence of ghosts from the past around her, Oswald discovers that there is more to his mystery illness than he first thought. Only by uncovering the truth can they both be set free.

REVIEWS:

"Devastating and masterful."

 Telegraph

"Poulton has pared down the work to its bare essentials, so it runs for just an hour and 45 minutes without an interval... The changes enable the dramatic tension to build to a fever pitch and a searing final scene without interruption."
