HighTide and Pentabus have announced the cast for the upcoming tour of Even More… Ghost Stories by Candlelight, coming to the Midlands this winter.

Elle While, the BAFTA winning Artistic Director of Pentabus, will direct Keaton Guimarães-Tolley and Sarita Gabony.

Now in its third consecutive year, the show brings together four contemporary ghost stories from multi award-winning Florence Espeut-Nickless (Destiny), George Devine award winner Simon Longman (Falling Falling Falling Falling), acclaimed writer/performer Anne Odeke (Princess Essex), and HighTide Writers Group Alumni Rosa Torr (RATTUS RATTUS). This production will complete HighTide’s trilogy of contemporary ghost stories, set amongst flickering candlelight, reimagining the genre for the 21st century.

Joining Elle While to complete the creative team are Lu Herbert (Set and Costume Designer), Anna
Short (Sound Designer), Jonathan Chan (Lighting Designer), Thomas Quine (Production Manager),
former HighTide Artistic Director Clare Slater (Dramaturg), and Olivier Award winning John Bulleid
(Illusion Designer).

Ghosts don’t always stay in the past.

The sell-out success returns with four brand new spooky stories from award-winning writers. In an ambitious co-production between HighTide and Pentabus, this year’s Ghost Stories by Candlelight will draw you into the secretive corners of the East and West of England. Join us by the candles. Just don’t let the light go out.

Even More… Ghost Stories by Candlelight comes to Ludlow Assembly Rooms on 28 October and Midlands Arts Centre on 29 October.
