The Ghost Train

THE clock is ticking down to the latest production by Penarth Operatic & Dramatic Society (PODS).

On a stormy evening, a group of stranded travellers at a lonely rural railway station confront the unsettling legend of a deadly ghost train that haunts the tracks.

Despite warnings from the station master who attempts to persuade them to leave, they stay, risking an encounter with the infamous train that brings death to those who see it.

Arnold Ridley, best known as Private Godfrey from the BBC's Dad's Army, wrote The Ghost Train in 1923. The play saw a successful West End run from to 1925 to 1927 and enjoyed numerous revivals, inspired several film adaptations starting with a 1927 silent film, and then was adapted for radio in 2010.

The Ghost Train promises a chilling blend of suspense and surprise thrills with a dash or dark humour. If you want a ticket book it as quickly as you can, there will be no standing room when the train arrives!
