Read full details

Arnold Ridley's classic comedy-thriller *The Ghost Train* makes its Dresden premiere, bringing the eerie tale of stranded railway passengers to the stage. The play, written in 1923 and inspired by Ridley's own overnight stay at a deserted station, weaves suspense with a twist of spy adventure. Audiences can expect a night of escalating tension as the spectral train's legend unfolds, complete with dramatic special effects that recreate the sensation of a train hurtling past.

The production captures the social dynamics of 1920s English society thrown together in a remote waiting room, blending supernatural dread with a covert operation reveal. The original London run was a sell-out success, and this Dresden staging promises to deliver the same gripping atmosphere. Attendees will experience the clever interplay of characters and the thrilling climax that made the play a minor modern classic.
