The Ghost Train is a stage comedy-thriller, written in 1923 by the English actor and playwright, Arnold Ridley. The story centers upon the social interaction of a group of railway passengers who are stranded at a remote rural station overnight, and are increasingly threatened by a latent external force, with a “denouement” ending. The play ran for over a year in its original sold-out London theatrical run and is regarded as a modern minor classic. It has been adapted for several movies and radio dramas over the years. The setting: A waiting room of the (dingy, rundown) Railway Station at Clear Vale Junction, Rockland, Maine. Circa 1930.
A note from the Director: I have referred to it as “Agatha Christie meets Scooby Doo”.
Garrison Players Arts Center (GPAC) is a nonprofit, volunteer-based community theatre group dedicated to enriching the cultural life of the area by presenting high-quality theatrical performances geared for family audiences. Established in 1953, the Players encourage people of all ages to enjoy and participate in the many facets of the performing arts, and to help maintain the Garrison Players Arts Center.
