POLTERGEIST by Philip Ridley on at Arcola Theatre, 12 October – 5 November 2022
September 22, 2022 |

From master storyteller Philip Ridley, the award-winning The Poltergeist makes its stage debut at Arcola Theatre, following a critically acclaimed streaming run at Southwark Playhouse.

 

Darkly comic and deeply compelling The Poltergeist is “a tour-de-force performance from Joseph Potter” (Theatre Weekly) as Sasha.

 

This one-man show is about art, family, memory, and being haunted by the life we never lived.

 

At fifteen Sasha was called an art world prodigy. Celebrities wanted to buy his paintings. His first exhibition was going to make him a superstar.

 

But now he lives in a run-down flat, with his out-of-work boyfriend, and no one’s even heard of him…What went wrong?

 

A New York Times Critic’s Pick, this production reunites the original company with Wiebke Green directing Joseph Potter.
