The Haunting

Directed by Nicole Mollett and Chris Reed,

Performed by the Big Fish Theatre Company.

Duration 60minutes.

‘The Haunting’ performance is in honour of Peter Cushings, the famous Hammer Horror Actor, who lived in Whitstable. It was created in collaboration with Big Fish Theatre, who are based on the Isle of Sheppey. The spirits of Whitstable’s past have returned to their old haunts. The sound of the fog horn made by their conductor awakes the dead, and they rise from the jetty to explore the town. They lurk amongst the alleys and the groynes these apparitions from a parallel dimension confront the present with humour and wonder in equal measure. The performers remain lost and confused, and eventually return to the sea, when the fog horn beckons them to return to their rest.
