Ghost Light at Hope Theatre

The Moran Sisters captured the hearts of a generation when they were children. Then Charley disappeared from the limelight, and Kat kept going, trapped in an abusive marriage. When Charley returns and sees what has happened to her sister, she has to face up to abandoning her sister, and the new life she might have to sacrifice to help her.

Ghost Light is a new musical about child stardom and the treatment of women and girls in the public eye, shining a harsh light on addiction and abuse, but it is also a story of love that survives, no matter the odds.

Writer/composer Molly O'Gorman and director Elena Yianni feel compelled to tell this story because it is all around us; the long-running abuse of Britney Spears, of Jenette McCurdy and many of her co-stars, the #MeToo movement, the death of Caroline Flack, and the epidemic of femicide and domestic violence that is sensationalised in our media.  Ghost Light shines a harsh light on how abuse is facilitated, and asks how we can break the cycle of cruelty.

Ghost Light will take to the stage at The Hope Theatre between July 11th 2023 – July 29th 2023

It includes original  music composed by Molly O’Gorman
