You know why the ghost train is so popular? Because there are no ghosts. Once you’ve learnt that you can make a fortune.”
Ten years ago something terrible happened to Presley and Haley. Since then they’ve lived alone in their dead parents’ house, doors bolted against the terrors of the world. But, one night, Presley sees a beautiful stranger on the street outside. And while his sister sleeps… he invites in their worst nightmare.

Darkly comic and deeply unsettling, Philip Ridley’s seminal masterpiece single-handedly changed the course of British drama. Its exploration of ‘a climate of fear’, living in ‘alternate worlds’, and persistent thrum of sexual anxiety has continued to act as a tuning fork for the zeitgeist. It is a play whose relevance is forever in the now.

Lidless Theatre has a long-standing collaboration with Philip Ridley and is now set to return with a landmark production—his first-ever play, The Pitchfork Disney. One of Ridley’s most celebrated and influential works, this production marks a major moment in their partnership.

Fresh from two sell-out, ★★★★★ runs at Park Theatre, including Leaves of Glass, which broke Park90’s box office records, Lidless Theatre continues to champion Ridley’s groundbreaking storytelling on stage.
