THE GHOST'S TOUCH!
(from Wilkie Collins) – 1f, 1m plus voice only 2f, 1m, 1 girl, 1 boy
THE GHOST’S TOUCH! is a haunting play based on the chilling tale by Wilkie Collins, the author of The Woman In White.
Widower Stephen Rayburn’s young daughter Lucy runs back to him from the woods in Kensington Gardens. He can see that she’s frightened. “Is it the dog?” he asks. “It’s not the dog,” she answers. “It’s the lady ... I think she might be mad!” The ghostly woman Stephen meets leads him into a web of lust and revenge that reaches out from beyond the grave.
This 2-hander play with multiple recorded (or live) voices weaves a surreal, deeply emotional atmosphere where nothng is quite as it seems.
