Signalman Uncovered
A haunting tale of horror and suspense comes to Brighton, but will it make it to the stage? Hydrocracker's unique production of The Signalman has been cancelled due to tunnel damage.
Hailing from Brighton, Hydrocracker is an artist-led company known for its innovative and experimental approach to theatre.
• The Signalman, a masterful ghost story by Charles Dickens, is re-imagined in a unique and immersive way, drawing the audience into the world of the signalman. • The creative team behind the production includes Nathan Crossan-Smith as director, Richard Hahlo as co-director, and Madeleine Wilson as producer, bringing a wealth of experience in theatre and performance. • The cast, including Oliver Clayton as the signalman and Jem Wall as the tour guide and the visitor/Charles Dickens, delivers a robust and inventive performance, praised by critics for its immersive and suspenseful storytelling.
Unfortunately, due to damage in the tunnel, all performances of The Signalman at Cab Road Tunnel have been cancelled, and ticket holders will be refunded. However, Hydrocracker is exploring ways to reschedule The Signalman in 2027, and audiences can check their website for updates. The original dates were set for Wednesday, 4 November 2026, to Sunday, 29 November 2026, at the Brighton Dome, Brighton, and tickets were available with the button beside the article.
