COMMON GROUND
THEATRE COMPANY

Was he psychic or pseudo, trickster or telepath? No-one knew...least of all, him.

Common Ground present an “entrancing” new comedy. Set in the 1920s, The Unhappy Medium tells the story of Montague Faulke , a “spiritualist” and some-time music hall entertainer (played by Julian Harries), as he struggles with his conscience, his creditors and his put-upon assistant Aubrey Miles (Patrick Marlowe who last performed with Common Ground in The Signalman).

Matters come to a head when Faulke comes under the scrutiny of psychic investigator Morton McLean, played by Dick Mainwaring – his last appearance with the company was in Stuff In The Attic. Both he and Pat Marlowe have appeared in Eastern Angles' Christmas shows.

Expect oodles of ectoplasm, lashings of levitation and a bump or two in the night.

Our autumn 2015 tour of The Count of Monte Cristo went down a storm with audiences and critics alike. Andrew Clarke, reviewing for the EADT, said:

“This is a dazzling piece of comic confection which showcases the collective talents of a touring company which cleverly mixes experience with youthful talent and it takes real skill to take a sturdy piece of classic literature and turn it into one of the most hilarious and imaginative shows of the year.”
