Haunted
A comedy by Eric Chapell
Nigel Burke, aspiring playwright, is neurotic and agoraphobic and hasn’t written a word in three months.
His wife, Mary, is nearing the end of her tether, his agent, Turner, is desperate for him to start writing again, and novelist-turned-playwright Julia Phillips is pestering him for an opinion on her play (as well as showing more than a professional interest in him).
As it all this is not bad enough, Nigel is visited by the mysterious Potter, who knows Nigel’s interest in Byron and gives him a goblet used by the poet.
Drinking from the goblet brings about subtle changes in Nigel’s confidence and manner and then, out of nowhere, Byron himself appears!
Part ghost, part battle-of-the-sexes comedy.
Haunted is flippant and exciting play from the author of Natural Causes.
Season: 24 April – 4 May.
