Chester Attractions

Coming to Storyhouse, 3rd-7th February 2026... The Signalman

The nerve-tingling masterpiece by Charles Dickens

Middle Ground Theatre Company Ltd is delighted to announce a new extended adaptation of their hugely successful production of The Signalman

Set in 1880, this is the exquisitely unnerving tale of a tormented signalman who is haunted by visions of impending disaster on his isolated stretch of line. Can a well-meaning traveller, who chances upon the lonely signal box while out walking, calm the man’s fears before he spirals into self-destruction?

Featuring a stunning set and video projections, this is the perfect way to spend a dark autumn or winter’s evening…

Starring Chris Walker and John Burton, with James Morley, Bruce Chattan and Adam Mort.
