There's just one more chance to see the play reviewed by the writer's Mum as:

"I thought I was coming to see the one that you wrote about the three sisters"

Tomorrow night we unleash the quirky team of Spectre Quest on the stage at Buxton Working Men’s Club for the final time!

HAVE YOU BOOKED YET?!

Join us for a night of ghost-hunting with one of the most deliciously atrocious and utterly hilarious paranormal investigation teams to ever hit the Fringe Festival circuit. It’s possible there may be ghosts. It’s possible there may be demons. It’s possible there may be a fire caused from the sheer volume of polyester Kimberley is wearing! One thing is absolutely certain… You have NEVER seen a ghost-hunting show like this!

With only one more performance, join us on July 26th as part of Buxton Festival Fringe hosted at Buxton Working Men’s Club by Underground and behold the wonder that is Spectre Quest as they seek the answers, despite not really being sure what the questions are....

Almost Haunted, written by Laura Genders, directed by Tuirenn Hurstfield and brought to you by Northern Powerhouse Theatre will leave you questioning everything that you thought you knew about the paranormal, the beyond and the mating calls of gibbons.

Northern Rep is changing… Not right now, but soon.

And as we change ourselves, we are getting ready to promote our latest Greater Manchester Fringe Festival () success towards a tour.

To do this, we are inviting an audience to join the ghostly goings on with Spectre Quest for absolutely free while we film an outing of Almost Haunted to send to producers and theatre programmers everywhere!

We’d love it if you would come and claim a seat to take part in the audience on Saturday 31st August at 7pm for a 7.45pm curtain at Poynton Players Theatre, George’s Road West, Poynton SK12 1JY.

We want to fill the house and get your audience feedback afterwards so we can get this show on the road.

Will you join us?

Tickets are available through: ticketsource.co.uk/northernrepco

Please share far and wide, and even invite those from the other side.
See you there!

Thank you so much to Canal Street Media (Canal Street, Manchester) for this lovely review of Almost Haunted.

Other feedback includes:

"An absolute riot from start to finish"

"Laughed a lot tonight, a really excellent show"

"You made me laugh and I stayed awake" ~ Laura's Dad (if you know Glyn, that's high praise indeed)

Thanks so much to our audiences and if you didn't get chance to see the team of Spectre Quest investigate the spooky goings on at Salford Arts Theatre as part of Greater Manchester Fringe, then keep an eye on Northern Rep Theatre's socials, as we have a strong feeling that this isn't the last you've heard from Vin, Cal, Dr Penny and the rest of the crew...
