A Cambridge ghost story for Christmas. Award winning playwright and historian Sean Lang has taken real Cambridge events and woven an original and exciting whodunit of a ghost story based in the aftermath of the First World War. The fight for social equality and women’s' suffrage are on everybody's minds but there is something reflected in the windows of Kings College that draws us back to an earlier time of witch-hunts, the English Civil war, the plague and an unresolved injustice. Atmospheric and intriguing - don't miss this dramatic Christmas treat.
