'She comes towards me on the floor; always approaching; never coming nearer; always visible as if by moonlight whether the moon shines or not'. A writer struggling to reignite his creative vision. A real-life crime. And a visit to a supposedly haunted inn. As darkness descends, a ghostly tale is played out. But what is real and what is not? A tale of passion, deceit and the ethereal dance between the realms of life and death as the Hanged Man's Bride beckons from the shadows of the past.

About the show

Blue Orange Arts brings Charles Dickens: The Hanged Man's Bride to Space 2 at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. A writer struggling to reignite his creative vision visits a supposedly haunted inn, where a real-life crime and a ghostly presence converge. A figure always approaches but never comes nearer — visible as if by moonlight. The show weaves passion, deceit and the ethereal dance between the realms of life and death into a horror storytelling piece. Running 50 minutes, it is suitable for ages 8 and above.

Why see this show?

An atmospheric ghost story drawing on a real-life crime, told with the intimacy of pure storytelling. Blue Orange Arts create a genuinely eerie atmosphere without relying on spectacle — ideal for anyone who enjoys being unnerved in the best possible way.
