Bishops' House

<h3>A﻿ ghost story for Christmas as The White Dress returns to the hauntingly beautiful Bishops&#x27; House...</h3>Who is the Woman in the White Dress? A heartbroken bride abandoned at the altar? A distraught mother whose son was killed in war? A devoted sister taken too soon by a flu pandemic? In the grand tradition of British theatrical ghost stories comes a tale to chill your heart...It is 1938. Three individuals, bound together by their encounters with the spectral Woman in the White Dress, gather to recount their ghostly experiences. But wait... someone else, something else, is here too. Perhaps they, perhaps it, can solve the mystery of the Woman in the White Dress..?The White Dress is an original production, written by Sheffield born Paul Voodini and featuring a talented cast &amp; crew of Sheffield-based creatives. The show returns to Bishops&#x27; House in Meersbrook Park, Sheffield, following several sold out performances throughout the year at this wonderful venue. The 16th Century Bishops&#x27; House is the perfect setting for tales of ghosts, grief, and the ethereal night-time whisperings of our dearly departed. Prepare to be spooked by The Last Great Ghost Story!&quot;﻿A terrifying and terrific piece of theatre,&quot; - Melanie Hopkins, theatre critic.Audience feedback from recent performances of the White Dress:&quot;Kept me captivated from beginning to end. Don&#x27;t miss it!&quot;&quot;A brilliant story, excellently acted!&quot;&quot;﻿From the start the characters take you into the heart of their haunting pain and shock. Recall Macbeth and Hamlet and their effect. The White Dress is a modern horror. Be warned.&quot;&quot;﻿[My wife] is still sitting in a chair recovering!&quot;&quot;﻿If you like Woman in Black, you&#x27;ll love this!&quot;P﻿LEASE NOTE: THIS PERFORMANCE HAS A 15+ ADVISORY AGE RATING.
