Cast Creative Edit

Arthur Kipps, a middle-aged solicitor, hires the services of a professional actor to help him re-create a ghostly event from his past, hoping to exorcise the nightmares which have haunted his sleep ever since. As the two men rehearse in a deserted theatre, the story unspools in terrifying fragments, from the initial appearance of a ghastly spectre at a funeral to her final, terrifying revenge for the death of her innocent child.

Recommended Audiences:

Those who enjoy the “fear factor” in ghost plays and movies are recommended for this show. Though no physical violence and gore is seen, the spectre of the ghostly woman in black appears unexpectedly several times to psychologically wreak havoc. The play’s sound effects can be intense and frightening to younger audiences. The show’s major appeal is its narrative story-telling, inventive theatricality and evocative power of the spoken word to create imagery, tension and fear. Aside from running continuously for 27 years in London’s West End and many other community and professional theatres around the globe, this play is also popular in middle school, high school and collegiate programs. Parental guidance is always recommended for intense shows.

Review: NORA HAHN CRAFTFULLY BRINGS ANN RICHARDS TO LIFE IN GARDEN THEATRE'S PRODUCTION OF ANN

February 09, 2024

The Garden Theatre is currently presenting ANN, a one-woman show highlighting the life of the prolific Texas governor, Ann Richards. Nora Hahn stars as Ann, and with her ability to play to the audience in such an intimate way yet still have the gravitas of a bold politician, Hahn was clearly the right choice.
