Greater Boston Stage Company is thrilled to announce the U.S. Premiere of "We Had a Girl Before You," a devilishly good solo gothic thrill ride, written by acclaimed playwright Trevor Schmidt. This spine-chilling cocktail is concocted from the sinister ingredients of "Rebecca," "Jane Eyre," "The Turn of the Screw," and a host of other gothic gems. Audiences are in for an unforgettable experience as Annie Barbour* takes center stage in this captivating production, under the masterful direction of Producing Artistic Director Weylin Symes.

Our daring heroine embarks on a work adventure to a desolate cliff-top manor, only to find the place deserted, her new master quarantined away. Under the cloak of night, their secret rendezvous through a keyhole unearths the grizzly fates of past occupants. Is this a wicked reality or a twisted dream? The suspense builds as her destiny dangles in the balance, promising a hauntingly good time.
