Ghost From A Perfect Place

By Philip Ridley

Back in the swinging sixties, Travis Flood led a gang that terrorised East London. Now, after an absence of many years, he returns to find his old turf in the clutches of a new kind of gang…with a new kind of leader. Rio - ruler of a mob of girls - instantly captivates Travis with her haunting beauty. But soon a shocking story begins to emerge - one that shatters both their distorted memories.

Ghost From A Perfect Place had its explosive premiere at Hampstead Theatre in 1994 where it was denounced as “pornographic” by The Guardian's Michael Billington and hailed as “a masterpiece” by The Spectator. Cellar Door brings this devastatingly beautiful piece of writing to the Drayton Arms Theatre this August.
