Why go

The Canterville ghost rattles its chains ever more desperately at a modern family that simply refuses to be frightened. Katharina Grosch's rewrite of Oscar Wilde's story, premiered here in June 2026, raids centuries of horror tropes to ask whether an over-therapised, doom-scrolling society can still feel a proper shiver — and whether it needs one. The piece runs 1 hour 50 minutes without an interval; this date is sold out, with any returns at the evening box office.
