The history of East Sussex theatres is particularly fascinating due
to the sheer variety of venues that hosted plays, opera shows and
musical entertainment. Tina Lakin's interest in the rise and fall
of the many piers in the county where extravagant balls and
concerts were held, led her to discover the weird and sometimes
tragic tales that have arisen in these spectral structures.Included
in the book is a history of entertainment, from Greek tragedies to
the rise of the music hall and circus acts through to the
modern-day tattooist shows and successful events at Glyndebourne.
From the spectre of a waif-like orphan searching for the glamour of
the theatre, a phantom orchestra playing on a seaside promenade to
the ghost of an unrequited backstage love affair the tales will
both surprise and mystify the reader.Illustrated with over fifty
unusual images, the tales will enchant the lovers of ghost stories
and those interested in the rise and decline of entertainment on
Britain's south-east coast. Accompanied by interesting pictures of
bygone times as well as some contemporary images, a complete
history of area's theatrical hauntings are gathered here. This
collection of thought-provoking eerie tales is sure to appeal to
anyone with an interest in the paranormal or theatre history.
