Catherine Tate, who is renowned for her TV, film and theatre work, including her current BBC series Queen of Oz, The Catherine Tate Show and Donna Noble in Doctor Who alongside David Tennant, will play single mother Peggy Hodgson.
David Threlfall, who played Frank Gallagher in the highly acclaimed TV series Shameless plays Maurice Grosse, a ghost hunter.
The Hodgson’s had no idea what a poltergeist was when, in the summer of 1977, furniture and toys started moving of their own accord. They were an ordinary, working-class family, who lived in a North London council house, Enfield. However the next eighteen months became the centre of one of the most famous poltergeist events in the world. Paul Unwin’s new play is the story of one night in the spring of 1978 when events were approaching a climax. Based on the first-hand accounts of one the one the ghost hunters, The Enfield Haunting tells the true story of what happened when Peggy Hodgson tries to protect her three children from something that is incomprehensible, deeply disturbing with a terrifying conclusion.
