Workington Playgoers

Jan is recovering from a nervous disorder and has just been released from hospital. Her husband, Greg, brings her to an isolated farmhouse to recover and for them to rekindle their marriage. Immediately Jan finds that unnerving things are happening. Greg announces that his sister Laura is to join them. Jan has never liked or got on with Laura and she finds that her relationship with Greg is unnaturally close and somewhat secretive. Then there is George, the old farmer, who lives close by. He delights in tales of local murders and weird happenings that have taken place in the house. He alarms Jan with accounts of a ghostly Hermit, the sound of heartbeats presaging the next death, and a mysterious bloodstain that appears on the floor. Laura arrives and Jan is, once again, dismayed by the way she dominates and tries to monopolise Greg, encouraging Jan to take more medication and belittling her attempts to get back to normal. More and more frightening things occur. Jan cannot understand what is going on and is terrified. Will you be too? We dare you to come and find out.
