The Ghost Train, Arnold Ridley’s classic drama, was performed by TADS from Wednesday 15th to Saturday 18th May 2024.
This classic comedy-thriller was first produced in 1925 and has been a firm favourite with professional and non-professional theatre companies ever since. The revised version, published in 2023 by Jocelyn and Nicolas Ridley, aims to refresh some elements of the dialogue to bring it a little more up to date.
This is the second outing of The Ghost Train for TADS, having first been performed in 1990.
