👻 An Evening of Suspense with Oliver Dickens 👻As darkness falls over Faversham, step into one of Charles Dickens' most haunting and unforgettable stories.
Performed by Oliver Dickens, a direct descendant of Charles Dickens, The Signalman is a masterclass in Victorian suspense, mystery and psychological tension.
Set beside a lonely railway cutting, the story follows a signalman troubled by a series of strange encounters that appear to foretell tragedy. As the narrative unfolds, Dickens builds an atmosphere of unease and dread that continues to captivate audiences more than 160 years after it was first published.
Beautifully performed in the intimate surroundings of Faversham's historic Assembly Rooms, this is storytelling at its most powerful—an absorbing and atmospheric evening that will remain with you long after the final words have been spoken.
