The Haunted Bride

The Haunted Bride
based on the delectably eerie tale To Be Read At Dusk by Charles Dickens
This spine-chilling play by John Goodrum finds Nineteenth Century
tour guide Giovanni Baptista meeting up again with cockney lady’s
maid Carolina, ten years after their extraordinary and unsettling
experience with newlyweds Thomas and Clara Manning, whom
they accompanied all those years ago on their honeymoon trip to
the Riviera.
Gradually the two of them unfold the horrifying tale of Thomas,
happy and carefree when they set off from London, and his young
bride Clara, who is haunted ... haunted by a dream, haunted by
the dream of a face, three times dreamt in the nights leading up to
her wedding. At the peeling, overgrown Italian palazzo where they
are to spend the next few weeks, the intangible dread that haunts
her reaches its terrifying climax.
Audiences will be thrilled and excited by this fast-moving tale in
which reality is always shifting and nothing is quite what it seems!
... let the haunting begin!
