This Halloween, don’t miss the last train…

Set deep beneath the rotting veins of London, The Signalman sits in his hovel, listening to the weeping brickwork bulging under the weight of its own blood filled story.

Soon, a young man — drunk and stranded after missing his last train — comes face to face with him. With the station deserted and the next service train still some time away, the two strangers begin to talk.

The Signalman tells him about the uncanny things he has experienced during countless nights underground — but the young man is sceptical. Every occurrence has a rational explanation. At least, that's what he tells himself.

But as the night wears on, the inexplicable becomes harder to dismiss — and the boundary between coincidence, madness, and something supernatural, begins to disappear.

The Signalman is a tense, intimate ghost story about isolation, guilt, and the things that wait for us in the dark.

Please note that the production contains violence, graphic imagery, offensive language, adult themes, and discussion of suicide. 16+ advised.
