Following the success of last year’s sold-out performances, Clap Trap Theatre presents Blindfold, a moving new production by BAFTA-nominated television writer Tom Needham.
In 1914, two boyhood friends went to fight for their country, but only one came back.
After the war, the surviving soldier and his sister encounter an old friend who was being haunted by the ghost of a young man in a blindfold. Now, a hundred years later, the discovery of letters re-awakens the ghost. Who is he, and what does he want? Bit by bit, the lives of the long dead are brought to life, and heartbreaking truths begin to emerge…
Before the performance, you’ll take a guided ghost tour of Burton Constable Hall and uncover the chilling stories of the spirits still roaming this Hall.
