The Ghost Managers

Step inside Insole Court and into its haunted past in The Ghost Managers, a compelling new play by Cardiff writer Gareth Thomas, written specifically for the historic house. Performed in the evocative Drawing Room—where echoes of history still linger—this two-act production unearths the tangled legacy of the Insole family and the tragic tale of the Cymmer Colliery disaster of 1856.
Act I invites the audience into the lives of the Insole household and the miners who perished, vividly brought to life through spirited dialogue and unforgettable characters rooted in historical truth. Act II shifts to a gripping courtroom drama, as justice is pursued in the aftermath of the disaster—with a verdict that still stuns to this day.
Blending heritage, tragedy, and truth, The Ghost Managers promises an intimate and powerful evening of theatre that resonates through the very walls where history unfolded.

Evening Times: 7.00pm Start, Doors at 6.30pm (Bar Open from 6.00pm)
