The Girl on the Train – Liverpool Playhouse

What would you do, if you saw something that you knew wasn’t right, but were on a train when you saw it? The Girl on the Train has been adapted from the bestselling book by Paula Hawkins, that was turned into a film starring Emily Blunt. It tells the story of Rachel Watson who watches people on her commute into work, then one day a detective turns up at her door to tell her that a lady she has been watching on the train has disappeared.

2:22 A Ghost Story – Festival Theatre Edinburgh

2:22 A Ghost Story hits a little different to all the other ghost related plays you see on stage these days, there no Victorian costumes or creepy lantern lit faces in the darkness, instead just 4 people in an ordinary looking house and a baby monitor. Instead of giving us an eerie back story of lost lovers or vengeful spirits we are left with a scenario that’s even more terrifying, something that could happen in our very own homes. With an incredibly well written script 2:22 offers its audience the thrills and jump scares that they seek, but also incredible logic on ghost stories themselves. When Jenny (Louisa Lytton) becomes fearful of her new house, husband Sam (Nathaniel Curtis) is far from the comforting type insisting there is no such thing as ghosts. In a bid to make him believe ...
