Arnold Ridley's The Ghost Train has been an audience favourite since it was first written almost 100 years ago.
Set in 1925, a train is stranded in deepest, darkest Cornwall, there is not a house, hotel nor help in sight and the passengers must stay in the waiting room right through the long night. As night draws in, the Station Master reveals the ghostly secret of the station and warns them of haunted happenings. As things go bump in the night and mysterious figures walk the station, the passengers begin to realise that nothing and no-one are quite as they seem.
ROLES: 4 females and 7 males.
AGES: 20+
As always, no preparation needed. We will be reading extracts from the play.
Prefer to be backstage? Every show needs a team to bring it together. If you are interested in working backstage, helping with set or any other areas, please come along to the auditions and speak to Min or a member of the committee.

Previous Shows
Southbank Players have been operating in the current premises since 1999. Before that we were two separate but closely linked groups - Trident and Osborne Players - both long standing companies with a wide range of experience and an interest in producing challenging drama of a high quality. We've made a list of our previous productions available.
Come Visit
Southbank Playhouse is on Kimberly Drive, just off Sunnyside Street/Ormeau Road. Our building was originally a scout hall and over the past fifteen years we've made a number of improvements to the premises, including the installation oflighting and sound systems, central heating, retractable seating bank, and a refurbished kitchen.
