From ADGE:

In autumn 2015 we revive one of the company’s most popular productions for a tour of over twenty countries in Europe and Asia. “THE CANTERVILLE GHOST” is an enigmatic masterpiece from one of the greatest story tellers ever to set pen to paper: Oscar Wilde. Being Wilde this is a piece of razor sharp wit, vicious satire and imagery that is both Gothic and lyrical. TNT brings out the full complexity of the story, a story that is wrongly labelled as solely for the young. And of course we update the satire as Wilde was nothing if not contemporary (he seldom sets his work in the past).

The story is set in an English castle whose aristocratic owner, Lord Canterville, has put up for sale as he is as broke as he is noble. The resident crows object to this as strongly as the resident Ghost (the wife murderer Sir Simon de Canterville). A brash and wealthy American family arrives to take possession of the castle: a cowgirl mom, a seemingly sweet daughter Virginia and her vile brother Washington. The Ghost does all he can to frighten the Americans away, but in the end it is the Duke who turns the tables by falling in love with Virginia. But first Virginia must learn a lesson or two from Sir Simon – if she is to have a Ghost of a chance…

TNT’s version has delighted audiences since 1997, from Shanghai to London and Munich to Tokyo. The combination of dynamic physical theatre, dance, comedy, masks, satire, audience participation and startling imagery grips young and old alike. The whole is complimented by Paul Flush’s musical score and a host of foot tapping songs plus a ballad or two to mix laughter with tears (or at least romance). TNT theatre and ADG Europe invite you to a magical theatrical performance in the company of yanks, ghosts, lovers, murderers, Lords, gypsies, horrible stains and the bad tempered dancing crows of Canterville.
