Reviews

Amanda: 12Nov23:
Think sixth sense....but shit.

Catherine: 19Oct23:
DO NOT BOTHER !!!! Complete waste of money at the Redgrave - bored out of my brains, the only thing that scared me was the amount I paid (£33 each) for such utter tosh !!!! I want a refund !!!

Mark Grant: 17Oct23:
Surely something needs to be done about this company? How can they be allowed to continue ripping people off like this?

Liz: 17Oct23:
Dreadful

Dane: 15Oct23:
This is the first time I've ever been to the theatre and wondered afterwards if I'd been part of some scam a la 'The Producers'. So many tour dates, no professional reviews to be found, relatively high ticket prices. I don't think I've seen so many people leave during the interval at any other show. As many others have said on this page, it was a muddled, dull mess.

Sam Noonan: 14Oct23:
Show’s like this don’t deserve to go out. It’s an absolute joke and there’s no consideration for audiences whatsoever. Worst show I ever seen by a long, long way.

Christine : 11Oct23:
What a load of shit - in the voice of Catherine Tate's Nan. Walked out during interval, that's an hour of my life I'll never get back and at almost 53, every minute counts

J Rothery: 08Oct23:
If I could be bothered, I ask for my money back. £28 each at Middleton Arena last night plus half hour drive up the motorway was definitely not worth it. Indulgant twaddle is the best description. We wete bored after 10 minutes but politely waited till the interview to make our escape. If ypu are old enough to remember the tv programme Jackanory this was about as good as it got. Boring, unscary stories. We kept thinking something might happen to make us jump, or even laugh! I don't believe any of the good reviews on here I think they are fake or written by the actirs' geandmas and favourite aunties. Don't waste your money.

Kim sykes: 30Sep23:
Absolute rubbish. I have never walked out half way through anything before but I did on this occasion. Not scary not funny, dreadful acting. Not sure what they were trying to achieve with this production.

Jo Jones - Anvil Basingstoke: 28Sep23:
Well, like most of the reviewers on here, I had no idea what to expect. The first half was definitely stronger than the first with a few jump scares and stories about haunted theatres. This leads you to believe that the second half would bring one of those stories to light but it did not. The second half felt completely disconnected to the first with the 'presenters' now becoming characters in their own ghost story. It was both confusing and hard to follow with rubbish effects and wooden acting. There was no chemistry between the actors, with the female lead sounding like she was reading her from lines direct from the script. There was no flow to the story and you could clearly see the 'ghosts' moving around the darkened stage. Quite a few left at the interval and I would have left too but wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt. If you have seen the likes of Woman in Black or Ghost Stories, I wouldn't bother with this at all, you will be disappointed.

Alison: 17Sep23:
Saw this at Liverpool and was looking forward to this but very disappointed. Does not live up to the description and could not seem to make up its mind whether it was story telling, a paranormal experience or a play - moved quite quickly from the mildly interesting at the beginning to the ridiculous. Do not waste your money.

Gary: 16Sep23:
Poor evening in Liverpool. Was really looking forward to this show, but the amount of people walking out really said it all. Not great. I don't think watching Everton could be that painful!!

Teddy H: 03Sep23:
Wicked night Portsmouth. Really enjoyed the show

Ellie: 22Aug23:
This is a very poor show. Saw it last night and came out hugely disappointed. This show really has an identity crisis. It’s not funny enough to be comedy, not scary enough to be chilling. The first half is mainly short stories of haunted theatres, the second half is the actor/presenters in one story line. The actors flip between presenters and characters which makes it clunky and hard to buy into. No chemistry between the cast. Maybe it was just a bad night but the lead female was wooden. Weirdly, her audio was dreadful (not her fault I know) but she sounded like she was in a toilet tube. This was like watching someone A level drama exam. Very poor, particularly given the ticket price. A real shame as the Theatre Royal Plymouth normally pick winners.

Jenna: 22Aug23:
Saw this at Plymouth. I really started to lose my patience with it in the second half and wish I'd just given up at the interval. Such a waste of money for a badly written and badly acted show.

Geoff : 22Aug23:
Saw this on Monday 21st August in Plymouth. We didn't really know what to expect. It was awesome and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Funny, scary, poignant and everything in between. Highly recommended!

Jenny Stevens : 21Aug23:
Plymouth TR. 21/8/23. Fab night. Very clever play, very much enjoyed the show. Well done all involved. Would recommend.

Tom R: 20Aug23:
Great night at the Ashcroft

JJ80: 17Aug23:
Dire. Lots of people walked out at the interval.

Martyn : 15Aug23:
Do you believe in Ghosts? Was not what I expected, from the description of the show, not that it gave away any real ideas of what it would be like, but I was pleasantly suprised with the whole show. I loved it!!! Great actors, creating an atmosphere that kept you on the edge of your seat throughout. Well produced and paced. I'd definitely recommend it, to both sceptics and believers
