Mary Rose – a good old-fashioned ghost tale at the Lyceum

“I dare say, to a timid thing, being a ghost is worse than seeing them.”

As warm autumn evenings turn into chilly winter nights what could be better than a good old-fashioned ghost story at the Lyceum? Join us for the tale of JM Barrie’s Mary Rose, a young girl whose disappearance on a remote Scottish island sets off a series of dark and mysterious events.

A family holiday is disrupted by the sudden and unexplained disappearance of a little girl, Mary Rose. Although she is soon reunited with her parents, the riddle of what happened remains and haunts the family for years to come.

When Mary Rose, by now a young adult, receives a proposal of marriage, these events from her past are cast up, and the mystery begins to take hold once again.

This is a play with both light and dark shades, moments of great humour and fun mixing effortlessly with the genuinely spine-tingling. It’s a compelling tale, and one which will leave you shivering with more than just the cold as the dark nights draw in this winter…
