Our Review:
5 February 2010
Belt Up Theatre begin their new theatre residency this February by leaving the auditorium far behind, as A Ghost Walk does exactly what it says on the tin: leading the audience around the medieval streets of York in hot pursuit of ghosts. We are guided by a young man who tells us that not only does he come from a long line of ghost walkers, but that he does not believe in ghosts. Sadly, attempts at establishing theatrical traditions such as characters or, indeed, a narrative do not progress much further than this interesting contradiction, and so the piece struggles to become more than just a guided tour with extras. However, the tourist formula is shaken up: “People only see ghosts when they want to” we are told, so this performance of the supernatural becomes less fake blood and ripped sheets, and more discomforting shadows and suspicious noises.
York has the dubious honour of being the most haunted city in the world, and so we are spoilt for choice with tales...
