The Signalman 2023

Rumpus Theatre Company presents a spine-chilling play by John Goodrum based on Charles’ Dickens’ classic ghost story THE SIGNALMAN

Who is the faceless figure by the tunnel warning the haunted signalman?

In this eerie version of Charles Dickens’ classic Victorian ghost story, a terrified signalman unburdens himself to the young student who chances upon his railway cutting. He tells a chilling tale of the spectre that haunts him, and the terrible disasters that follow each appearance . . . but what horror is the ghost trying to warn of this time? And is the young man’s visit quite so innocent as it at first appears?

‘If you like a good ghost story well told, then this is for you’ ‘edge of seat stuff’ ‘Don’t miss it, it’s a first class ride’ (Theatre Online UK)

‘impressive’ ‘definitely sent out the right signals’ (British Theatre Guide)
