The early 20th century. Ethel Charles is an old woman living alone on a grand, labyrinthine estate, hiding from ghosts she believes to be hunting for her. One night, she arranges for her contractor, Mr Coburn, to stay. She has planned a séance with the eminent Mr De Villiers, as she senses her life is coming to an end and resolves to make peace with the dead before she joins them in the spirit world. Ultimately a tale about guilt, faith and the power of fear, Peaceful is an unnerving piece of New Writing by an up-and-coming theatre company.
