Thark - Clive Francis

London, 1927. Things are not going well for Hector Benbow. His secret liaison with a shop girl is scuppered by his wife’s early arrival home. What’s more, there are reports that Thark – the family home – is haunted. Hector, his plucky nephew Ronny, and the rest of the family set out to the house to prove the rumours wrong. But Thark promises to live up to its spinechilling reputation… This adaptation received its world premiere at Park Theatre in August 2013, directed by Eleanor Rhode, whose previous sellout successes include A Life and the Time Out Critics’ Choice productions of The Drawer Boy and Generous .
