20 Stories High

By Paislie Reid with 20 Stories High Youth Theatre

When Darren takes on a dare to sneak into the haunted hospital, he vanishes without a trace. Now, his mates are on a mission to figure out what happened. As they follow spooky clues and things start getting weirder, tensions rise. Is the hospital really haunted? Will they find Darren?

With tourists, buskers and scallies causing chaos – plus a rogue seagull and a Greggs sausage roll thrown into the mix – Ghost Town is spooky, comedy thriller, written and directed by Paislie Reid, in collaboration with the brilliant young voices of 20 Stories High Youth Theatre.

Created as part of the Cities Exchange, a collaboration between 20 Stories High, Beyond Face, Company Three and Zoo Co.

Are you brave enough to uncover the truth? Grab your tickets now… before it’s too late.

Supported by Unity Theatre. Funded by Arts Council England, Paul Hamlyn Foundation, John Ellerman Foundation, The Coutts Foundation and Liverpool City Council.

“You know my cousin’s grandad’s nephew’s stepsister’s mate, right? Darren.”

“Darren?!”

“Yeah, our Darren. He was seen going into Newsham Park Hospital last night on a dare… and he hasn’t been seen since.”
