An Invitation to a Whitechapel Séance - One4Review

The small Mandrake Music Hall in London’s Whitechapel has been coveted by a large company, to be torn down and used as a warehouse. The theatre manager Julius is doing all he can to secure the sale. He does not however consider the company’s feelings and under the guidance of our heroine and raconteur Hebe Weir with unexpected help from beyond, fight to save the Music Hall and their livings. This musical monologue and ghost story is written and performed by Tobias Stone as Hebe. It is peppered with music hall songs from the Victorian and Edwardian periods, many of which are remembered from shows such as the old time music hall from TV. The songs are beautifully performed, the ghost story chilling at times and the costumes absolutely fabulous. The only down points in the show are the seemingly endless blackouts when he changes costume, the first of these had a voiceover which presumably set the scene but was indistinguishable. Interesting and enjoyable show especially if he cuts out the gaps. ***
