The Haunted Bride

25th October 2026

Sarah Thorne Theatre

The Haunted Bride based on the delectably eerie tale To Be Read At Dusk by Charles Dickens at the Sarah Thorne Theatre in Broadstairs

Start time: 7pm

This spine-chilling play by John Goodrum finds Nineteenth Century tour guide Giovanni Baptista meeting up again with cockney lady’s maid Carolina, ten years after their extraordinary and unsettling experience with newlyweds Thomas and Clara Manning, whom they accompanied all those years ago on their honeymoon trip to the Riviera.

Gradually the two of them unfold the horrifying tale of Thomas, happy and carefree when they set off from London, and his young bride Clara, who is haunted ... haunted by a dream, haunted by the dream of a face, three times dreamt in the nights leading up to her wedding. At the peeling, overgrown Italian palazzo where they
are to spend the next few weeks, the intangible dread that haunts her reaches its terrifying climax.

Audiences will be thrilled and excited by this fast-moving tale in which reality is always shifting and nothing is quite what it seems!
... let the haunting begin!
