Theatres are well-known to host the occasional ghost or two, but who were they and why do they still haunt these locations.
For actors, seeing a ghost in the theatre is a sign of good fortune. To the rest of us, it’s just terrifying.
Yes, I do have a tale to tell about seeing a ghostly apparition whilst appearing on stage, but before I regale you with my own story, let me tell you about some of the other people who inhabit our pleasure palaces - from the famous to the infamous, they're all here.

My name is Wayne and I'm a professional Actor and Theatrical / Social History historian.
I've been an actor for 30+ years - predominantly on stage, but I've also done my share of TV, Film and Commercials. I've also written, directed and produced several shows for myself and other theatre companies.
I love everything "theatre", but my biggest passion is Pantomime. My first memory was being taken to my local theatre by my Grandfather at the age of 4 to see a production of Cinderella - from that moment I was hooked. Over the years I've played roles from Ali Baba and Idle Jack (in my younger days) to Villains and Dames most recently. Favourite roles to date have been King Rat in Dick Whittington and Ugly Sister in Cinderella - both of which I've played multiple times.
My excitement for all things Theatre has spread and woven itself into my affection for history, so I'm now able to offer a series of talks based on my knowledge and research.
Thank you for reading my profile, I hope that we may meet at some point in the future...
