Nicholas Collett: The Ghost of a Smile

From the award-winning creators of ‘Done To Death, By Jove!’ comes a double-bill of Charles Dickens' ghost stories – with a comic twist!

The Queer Chair from The Pickwick Papers tells the story of Tom Smart, who, sheltering from a storm for the night, gets more than he bargained for… from a wizened and debauched piece of furniture!

Then in The Ghosts of the Mail , after a well-lubricated supper in the Old Town of Edinburgh, Jack Martin climbs into a compound containing the derelict skeletons of old coaches and falls asleep, whereupon he wakes as a passenger on an eighteenth-century mail coach, with three creepy companions...

From the team who brought you the hilarious detective mash-up, Done To Death, By Jove! comes The Ghost of a Smile , adapted and directed by Gavin Robertson and performed by Nicholas Collett. Expect tales with a tingle, but also a giggle! Two yarns to chill and charm! Stories with a shiver and a smile!
