Northern Light Theatre Presents World Premiere of WE HAD A GIRL BEFORE YOU

A candle-lit recounting of a Gothic tale of suspense and spine-tingling terror...

1880's Victorian London. Orphan spinster Edwina "Weenie" Trout accepts a position as a lady's companion on the remote island that houses Whisham Manor - known by the locals as 'Desolation'. She finds herself to be the latest in a long line of 'girls' who have mysteriously disappeared while in service to the mysterious Whisham family.

Will she discover the family's secrets?

Or will she simply vanish - like all the girls before her?

We Had A Girl Before You is a locally-written world premiere by Northern Light Theatre Artistic Director Trevor Schimdt. He has been awarded the Sterling Award (Edmonton) for his plays The Watermelon Girls, Change Room, and Flora & Fawna's Field Trip! His plays have been produced across Canada and in Australia.

With Direction, Set & Costume Designs by Trevor Schmidt, the creative team includes Original Composition & Sound Design by Dave Clarke; Lighting Design by Roy Jackson; Stage Management by Elizabeth Allison.
