Exeter Northcott Theatre to Present THE MIST IN THE MIRROR

By:

A chill will fall over the Exeter Northcott Theatre in February as unsettling ghost story, The Mist in the Mirror rolls into Devon. In the mould of Susan Hill's chilling hit The Woman in Black, The Mist in the Mirror is staged as if audiences are eavesdroppers to a fireside ghost story told in the manner of the master of the classic English ghost story writer, M.R. James.

Mr James Monmouth has spent most of his life travelling, following in the footsteps of his childhood hero, the explorer Conrad Vane. Returning to the England he left as a five year old orphan, James is determined to discover more, not just about his origins but also about the early life of Vane. Warned against pursuing this quest, James becomes ever more determined to unravel the mysteries of the past. But who is the mysterious pale, thin little boy who haunts his every step?

Adapted by Ian Kershaw, from author Susan Hill's novel, The Mist in the Mirror, is a tense and atmospheric new production by Oldham Coliseum Theatre with visual theatre innovators imitating the dog creating an unsettling ethereal atmosphere both on stage and off.
