The show invites audience members on stage to take part in heart-stopping experiments, including live s�ances, Ouija board and table tipping plus lone vigils within the depths of the Arena whilst the team on stage attempt to raise ghostly apparitions.

n Oscar-winning film The Artist is being screened at the Arena at 1.30pm and 7.30pm next Wednesday, April 4, and again at 7.30pm next Saturday, April 7.

Outside a movie premiere, enthusiastic fan Peppy Miller literally bumps into the swashbuckling hero of the silent film, George Valentin. The star reacts graciously and Peppy plants a kiss on his cheek as they are surrounded by photographers.

With the headlines demanding to know who she is, Peppy is inspired to audition for a dancing bit-part at the studio. But as she slowly rises through the industry, the introduction of talking pictures turns Valentin’s world upside-down.

Monster in Paris is the children’s matinee at 11am and 2pm next Saturday, April 7.
