The Canterville Ghost is showing in Edinburgh this summer (Toby Mitchell/Tall Stories)
THINGS are getting even spookier than normal in the dark streets of Edinburgh as a world premiere production of Oscar Wilde’s chilling tale The Canterville Ghost opens at the Fringe.
The dark comedy from award-winning theatre company Tall Stories features four Vaudevillian performers telling Wilde’s most gruesome story through magic, ventriloquism and comedy with original music.
