Cast announced for the UK tour of popular spine-chilling ghost story: When Darkness Falls

Paul Morrissey, Christopher Wheeler and Molly Morris are pleased to announce for the cast for the UK Tour of When Darkness Falls.

Written by James Milton and Paul Morrissey, When Darkness Falls, will open at The Lowry, Salford from Monday 27th February - Saturday 4th March. 

West End star Tony Timberlake and Thomas Dennis will co-star in the UK Tour of When Darkness Falls.

Tony Timberlake will play the role of John Blondel. Timberlake has recently appeared UK tour of Maggie May and in the world-famous The Mousetrap. Previous West End credits include Hairspray, Chicago, Monty Python’s Spamalot and Les Misérables.

Tony Timberlake said “I’m delighted to be embarking on this tour of When Darkness Falls. Theatres have had it tough recently but are a vital part of our lives and I hope we entertain, thrill and maybe even scare our audiences with this production.” 

Thomas Dennis will play the role of The Speaker. Dennis has recently appeared in Max Webster’s Henry V at the Donmar Warehouse. Prior to that, he played the roles of Albert in the UK Tour War Horse and Christopher in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.

Thomas Dennis said “It’s funny being an actor, my imagination is too vivid to watch scary plays and films…I can’t sleep for weeks… however, give me the chance to play in one and you’ll find me bouncing off the walls. This play is full of challenges. I just can’t wait to start merging folklore, history and trauma together to create my own version of ‘The Speaker”

Inspired by true events, James Milton and Paul Morrissey's powerful production takes us into dark pasts, reveals disturbing truths, and asks the question: what exactly are ghosts?

On a stormy night on the small island of Guernsey, a young paranormal expert joins a sceptical history teacher, to record the first in a series of podcasts based on the island’s incredible folklore and paranormal history. 

As the young expert regales his horrifying stories, the teacher learns that we all have our own truth. Our own stories. And our own ghosts that haunt us. Ghosts that bring the past, present and future together in unexpected ways.

Are you brave enough to face your fears? When Darkness Falls, the haunting hair-raising tale, is on sale now. 

When Darkness Falls will be at The Lowry, Salford from 27th February - 4th March. For more information and tickets visit www.thelowry.com or call 0161 876 2015.
