Worthing-based Conn Artists are heading out on a national tour for their tenth anniversary with the ghostly thriller The Haunting by Hugh Janes, a piece adapted from ghost stories by Charles Dickens.

The production tells the story of book dealer David Filde who is employed to catalogue an estate’s impressive library of rare books but as a series of strange and unexplained events conspire to keep him from his work, he realises that if he is to convince his employer that the mysterious phenomena are real, they must journey together to discover the source of the terrifying visitations.

On November 10 at 7.30pm it will be at The Spring, Havant. The tour concludes on November 14-15 at 7.45pm (2.30pm Wed) at Devonshire Park Theatre, Eastbourne.
