The Poltergeist Tickets - London
At the tender age of 15, Sasha was described as an art world prodigy. His first exhibition was going to elevate him to superstar status. Celebrities were queuing up to buy his paintings.
But now he is living in a small run-down flat, with his unemployed boyfriend, and no one’s even heard of him…so what went wrong?
The Poltergeist is a moving, exhilarating one-man show at the Arcola Theatre about art, memory, family, and being haunted by the life we never lived.
Presented together for the first time, and now reimagined by their original director, Wiebke Green, Critics’ Circle Award-winning writer Philip Ridley’s darkly comic and thrilling plays Tarantula and The Poltergeist return to London at the Arcola Theatre, with a new, talented cast and are presented together for the first time. After acclaimed premieres in 2022 and earlier this year, these companion pieces are now presented in an unforgettable double bill.
Experience both plays individually or together on the same night, to uncover how Ridley’s interwoven themes of love, family, and memory reverberate against the bustling backdrop of Eas London.
