The Signalman

After bringing his hit show 'The Mystery of Dracula' to the festival last year, David Alnwick is back at the Gothic Gathering with Charles Dickens' classic ghost story... THE SIGNALMAN.

A lone traveller befriends a railway signalman with a terrifying tale to tell.

David Alnwick is an actor, writer, and magician, and the first half of the show will be a live performance demonstration of Victorian Spiritualism, followed by a classic Dickensian style performance of The Signalman.

Expect an evening of ghosts, illusions, and chilling tales.

Praise for previous work:
“Like seemingly everything that Alnwick produces, the magic itself is flawless, and the storytelling aspect is equally perfectly performed.” - ★★★★★ World Magic Review

“Really well done... thoroughly enjoyed it... Really impressive work” - Andy Nyman (Derren Brown’s director and writer of West-End hit ‘Ghost Stories’)

“Alnwick skilfully cranks up the suspense and intrigue as he delves deeper into the darker side of magic.” – NowThen Magazine
