Ghost of a Smile

Arts for Rutland presents The Ghost of a Smile at on Friday 24 November at 7.30pm at the Rutland County Museum. 

Enjoy two of Charles Dickens' creepy tales – with a comic twist. Tales with a tingle, but also a giggle! Two yarns to chill and charm: a traveller encounters a ghostly chair and, in a deserted Edinburgh carriageworks, a tipsy reveller is spirited away by, well... spirits! Like The Woman in Black – but funnier, with fewer people! Adapted and directed by Gavin Robertson and performed by Nicholas Collett.

Tickets are £15 and available from Oakham Wines or wegottickets.com. There is a licensed bar and free parking onsite.
