Director Elle While said today, ‘Growing up in rural Herefordshire, the supernatural was forever around the corner and I've always loved the possibilities of stories that question beyond the rational. Getting to know the people and places of these contemporary ghost stories by the immeasurable talents of Anne, Flo, Rosa and Simon has already been a great joy and I can't wait to delve deeper and hopefully bring about a show filled with intrigue and surprises.'
Joining Elle and John to complete the creative team are Lu Herbert (Set and Costume Designer), Anna Short (Sound Designer), Jonathan Chan (Lighting Designer), Thomas Quine (Production Manager), and former HighTide Artistic Director Clare Slater (Dramaturg).
HighTide Artistic Director Titilola Dawadu said, ‘It’s been a real pleasure working alongside Elle and the Pentabus Theatre team on Even More…Ghost Stories by Candlelight. There’s something so special about coming together to share stories that have themes that will resonate and are deeply moving, and full of heart - all with a haunting twist! Ben and Sarita will move, delight and frighten audiences across the country.’
