BOOKINGS have opened for a new chiller, just as the temperatures are meant to be warming up.
Charles Dickens’ The Black Veil is to be performed at South Hill Park, thanks to the Rumpus Theatre Company.
The classic thriller tells the story of a newly-qualified doctor, Stephen Ruggles, who has just arrived home on a stormy winter’s evening and is warming himself by the fire.
A mysteriously-veiled elderly woman arrives at his door and begs him to visit a nameless patient at daybreak the following morning. Against his better judgment, Ruggles agrees, only to find himself embroiled in a web of lies and deceit that ends in death … but for whom?
Rumpus takes the audience on a dark and intriguing journey from the backstreets of Dickens’ London, to the East End docks, to an electrifying climax in a watermill on the outskirts of the city in this sinister and suspenseful thriller.
It will be performed at the Bracknell-based arts centre on Friday, March 20 and Saturday, March 21. Tickets cost £21.50 or £18.50 for members.
