Directed by Phil Carney, Nash Theatre presents The Canterville Ghost as a radio play of the classic British comedy of the cowardly ghost in wartime England.
Authorities on the subject of phantoms declare that the most fearsome ghost of all the British Isles is that of nobleman Sir Simon de Canterville.
Haunting Canterville castle for 300 years, this sprightly apparition has been unique for its keen sense of showmanship and its variety of tricks, shapes and sound effects.
The ghost originated in 1634 when Sir Simon was scheduled to fight a duel. He took one look at his fierce and towering opponent and ran away from the field of honour in a startling display of speed and cowardice. He was chased to his father’s castle by his frustrated opponent, Sir Valentine, which is where our first act starts.
