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.
