About

The Signalman

Starring Chris Walker and John Burton, with James Morley, Bruce Chattan and Adam Mort.

Middle Ground Theatre Company Ltd is delighted to announce a new extended adaptation of their hugely successful production of Charles Dickens’ nerve-tingling masterpiece The Signalman.

Set in 1880, this is the exquisitely unnerving tale of a tormented signalman who is haunted by visions of impending disaster on his isolated stretch of line. Can a well-meaning traveller, who chances upon the lonely signal box while out walking, calm the man’s fears before he spirals into self-destruction?

Featuring a stunning set and video projections, this is the perfect way to spend a dark autumn or winter’s evening…

Chris Walker is probably best known for his fifteen years playing Rob Hollins in Doctors, as well as regular roles in Merseybeat, Playing the Field, The Bill and Coronation Street.

John Burton is best known for his ongoing portrayal of Sergeant Goodfellow in the hugely successful worldwide series Father Brown, along with the regular character of Alan Gordon in Brookside.
