Whats On

Written by Danny Robins, creator of the hit BBC podcasts Uncanny and The Battersea Poltergeist, 2:22 A Ghost Story is a brilliantly funny and adrenaline-filled night where secrets emerge and ghosts may or may not appear… What do you believe? And do you dare discover the truth?

“THERE’S SOMETHING IN OUR HOUSE. I HEAR IT EVERY NIGHT, AT THE SAME TIME”

Please note that this is a REHEARSED READING - like a Radio Play - rather than a full Swan Performance.

Churchill’s Secret tells the story of Britain’s worst ever maritime disaster, yet few people have heard of it because it was deliberately covered up by Churchill and kept secret from the nation. In June 1940, the whole of mainland Europe was under Nazi occupation, France had just fallen, Britain was under intense threat and our forces were now in retreat.

The play tells the story of the last hours of The troopship Lancastria which was sent to repatriate British soldiers from France. It portrays the experiences of the young servicemen looking forward to heading home but then enduring extraordinary adversity. They ultimately discovered that, amidst the fog of war, their plight was largely forgotten by both government and country.

James Graham’s thrilling play combines the tension of a courtroom with the energy of a game show as a winning contestant on Britain’s Who Wants to Be A Millionaire? stands trial for cheating.

The nation is gripped by the sheer audacity of the plot to snatch the £1,000,000 jackpot but were Major Charles Ingram, his wife and a coughing accomplice really guilty?
It’s time to let the audience decide.
