Nightmares in Norfolk (2017)

Oh, whistle and I'll come to you by M. R. James.
Adapted by Nobby Dimon

The Signalman by Charles Dickens.
Adapted by Simon Corble

Directed by Vivienne Garnett

Simon Corble and Nobby Dimon created the original adaptation of the hilarious The 39 Steps which went on to be an international hit. Here they bring different approaches to the challenge of staging the supernatural.

Even the most sceptical, the most rational scientific mind, may have moments – when something happens that seems to defy the laws of nature, when the wild landscapes of our dreams and nightmares seem to intrude on reality, when coincidence seems to be stretched to breaking point.
