Adapted by James Nicholas, Blue Orange Arts presents: A brand new adaptation of one of Charles Dickens’ most haunting ghost stories!

“She comes towards me on the floor; always
approaching; never coming nearer; always visible as if by moonlight whether the moon shines or not”. 

A writer struggling to reignite his creative vision. A real-life crime. And a visit to a supposedly haunted inn. As darkness descends, a ghostly tale is played out. But what is real and what is not?

A tale of passion, deceit, and the ethereal dance between the realms of life and death as the Hanged Man’s Bride beckons from the shadows of the past.  Adapted by and featuring James Nicholas.

Showing as part of Edinburgh Fringe – Space 2 at theSpace on the Mile, 7th – 28th August.
