Start: 2025-01-31T19:30:00+00:00
Location: Northwood House

Ad Lib Theatre are back – this time with a brand new comedy written not by Shakespeare but by Island writer Maureen Sullivan, author of the sell-out ‘Bard in the Sand a few years ago. Ghost Hunting brings back together the talented team which has staged a string of incredibly popular Ad Lib Shakespeare plays, the most recent being Taming of the Shrew in June.
Karen the Ghost Hunter can see ghosts – at least, that’s what she tells her gullible public. But the illustrious former residents of the Island know the living can’t see them….until they meet Bernard. And now the ghosts of Queen Victoria, Dickens, Sir George Carey and even Shakespeare himself have a link to the modern world, they can influence events in 2025 – can’t they??
But there’s a witch finder on the loose – it’s going to take all the skills of the living and the dead to thwart his evil plans before Sir George can rebuild his mansion and Victoria can have her party! Meet the ghost of the Prince Regent at Northwood House; the wandering romantic spirit of Keats; wobbly-headed Charles I; the formidable Isabella, Lady of the Island and many more in a spookily silly spectacular which has been described as Blackadder meets Ghosts meets Horrible Histories.
Coming to a stage near you: on January 30th and 31st at Northwood House and February 1st and 2nd at Bembridge Village Hall, this hilariously historical play is the perfect antidote to the January blues. Get your ticket now and have something to look forward to after the Yuletide festivities – they make great Christmas gifts too!!
