"There was a mystery attached to No 17 Friar Street that the townsfolk weren’t keen to talk about. It was only Mabel who was obsessed with finding the truth.
“I met Mabel when I arrived to take possession of the house in late September. She was standing in the street staring at an upstairs window deep in thought and quite oblivious to my presence. “Do you know the house?” I asked. Without altering her gaze she replied, “I know something of its history. You mustn’t even think of lodging here.” I smiled at her rather condescendingly, and said, “Dry rot? Rats? Or a ghost perhaps?” as I turned the key in the lock..."
Part ghostly tale, part murder mystery, part love story, our autumn production this year has it all! - Scares, shocks, and a spine-chilling twist in the tale await those brave enough to come with us to Friar Street. But there will also be humour, haunting live music & a heart-warming affirmation of undying love and loyalty.
"I can think of no other company that swings back and forth, from tragedy to comedy, with such unapologetic aplomb…bold & brilliantly strange”. David Vass (Diss Express) reviewing our 2025 production, The Tales Our Mother Told.
"A proper ghost story with a suitably claustrophobic lighthouse setting, there are some genuine moments that make you jump, performed by three excellent actors….Pat Whymark’s excellent script gives the actors much to play with. Characterisation is strong, with highly evocative music and projections." Paul T Davies (Keep Colchester Cool), reviewing our 2024 production, Ghost Of The Toll Point Light.
A play with music in 2 acts.
Age recommendation 15+
Common Ground have been touring the Eastern region for many years now with their unique brand of music theatre.
"One of the best things on the road in East Anglia right now, the ever-inventive Common Ground…pathos, humanity and dry humour. A proper treat." - Libby Purves
