Ghost Quartet will run alongside a packed roster of late-night and Sunday performances of cabaret, improv, jazz, comedy, classical music and poetry.

On previous visits to Brighton, Sean McCall of the Showstoppers company recalls their creation of an improvised musical set on the Palace Pier, amongst other places. Tonight, the audience gives the 6-strong cast the task of producing Cheap As Chips - the Musical set in the cheap seats of the balcony of the Theatre Royal that they are sitting in.

Alas, it seems doubtful that last night's Cream of Yorkshire will ever be further refined. Yet, the performers' wits and synchronicity are such that the result is quite incredibly refined - considering the whole show is spontaneously made up, based on prompts from the audience.
