Apollo Theatre - is THE Isle of Wight Theatre that consistently produces brilliant theatrical experiences. This classic ghost story kept us on the edge of our seats... a chilling way to spend a hot Summer night!
Arnold Ridley's classic spooky drama was first produced in 1925 and filmed no less than three times. Better known as Private Godfrey in BBC's long-running Dad's Army, Ridley conceived the idea for this thriller horror on a deserted platform waiting for a train. The story begins when a young man accidentally strands six passengers at a small Cornish wayside station. Despite the stationmaster's weird stories of a ghost train, they decide to stay the night in the waiting room. Soon they regret this decision as a ghostly apparition terrorises the group. A detective hiding his true identity from the passengers soon discovers the real truth, but is it too late?
