The Gaiety Theatre and Bill Kenwright present The Haunting

by Hugh Janes adapted from the ghost stories of Charles Dickens from 7th-12th March

The Haunting, starring Paul Nicholas and CHARLIE CLEMENTS, is a gripping thriller from the literary master of suspense Charles Dickens. Opening in the Gaiety Theatre on March 7, it is a thrilling stage play based on some of Dickens' most spine-tingling tales of the unexpected.
When a young book dealer, David Filde, is employed by a former associate of his uncle to catalogue an impressive library, he finds an incredible array of rare and antiquated books. But as a series of strange and unexplained events conspire to keep Filde from his work, he realises that if he is to convince his sceptical employer that the mysterious phenomena he is experiencing are real, they must journey together to the very edge of terror, and beyond, to discover the source of the ghostly night-time visitations...

Paul Nicholas' BAFTA nominated role of Vince Pinner in the classic sitcom Just Good Friends was a key chapter in a career that has successfully covered the full dramatic range. He went on to rule the roost in the West End across the 90's taking lead roles in a number of classic productions including Barnum, The Mysterious Mr Love and Catch Me If You Can, in addition to producing and starring in the all time hit musical Singin' in the Rain. He is joined by one of TV's hottest young stars, Charlie Clements. Charlie is best known for playing the role of Bradley Branning in EastEnders;joining the show in 2006, he won numerous awards for his performance. His dramatic death was the finale of the 25th anniversary live episode in February 2010, drawing audience viewing figures of nearly 17 million people.
