Olivier Award winning Wycliffe star Jack Shepherd will star in a spine-tingling double bill of classic ghost stories in Croydon this month.

The Signalman is an adaptation of Charles Dickens’ unnerving tale of a tormented signalman set in the 1880s while Robert Aickman’s The Waiting Room gets its world stage premiere.

In the latter, George Pendlebury has missed his connection and is forced to spend the night alone in Casterton’s old station room. Frozen half to death, he awakes after midnight to find that perhaps he is not alone after all.

Richard Walsh, best known for playing Sicknote on London’s Burning for 12 years is also among the cast.

The Signalman and The Waiting Room are at Fairfield Halls from November 23 to 25 with the double bill each night from 7.30pm and a 2.30pm matinee on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Tickets cost £22.50 or £18.50 concessions. Call 020 8688 9291 or www.fairfield.co.uk
