A new adaptation of Charles Dickens' The Signalman will be staged at Storyhouse next month.

Middle Ground Theatre Company is set to present a new and extended adaptation of its hugely successful production of the classic horror story.

Set in 1880, this is the exquisitely unnerving tale of a tormented railway signalman who is haunted by visions of impending disaster on his isolated stretch of line.

The production will show from Tuesday 3 February to Saturday 7 February. Tickets are on sale now, priced from £20.50 for Storyhouse Members.

Featuring a stunning set and video projections, it has been described as 'the perfect way to spend a dark winter's evening'.

The Signalman stars Chris Walker and John Burton. Chris Walker is best known for his 15 years playing Rob Hollins in Doctors, as well as regular roles in Merseybeat, Playing the Field, The Bill and Coronation Street - while John Burton is well-known for his ongoing portrayal of Sgt Goodfellow in the hugely successful TV series Father Brown.

The cast also includes James Morley, Bruce Chattan and Adam Mort.

Dickens' story is adapted for the stage by Francis Evelyn, and the production is designed and directed by Michael Lunney.
