One-man Christmas ghost story in the Victorian vein, written and performed by Jonathan Goodwin and presented by The Boatyard.
Jonathan Goodwin brings Uncle Holly to The Continental on Wednesday 16 December, a one-man ghost story for Christmas written in the Victorian vein. It's presented by The Boatyard at The Continental, and as the title suggests, the whole thing is built around the malevolent spectre of Synderford, Uncle Holly. If you've got a soft spot for the kind of ghost stories that fit better by a fire than under bright lights, this is exactly that sort of thing.
Goodwin wrote the piece himself and co-directed it with Gary Archer, so it's a project he's been close to from the start. It's a one-man show, which means he's the only one on stage throughout, carrying the story on his own. The Victorian style points towards the traditional ghost story—the sort of thing that works best when the nights have properly closed in and you're in the mood for something a bit eerie.
