Is There A Specter In the House

Description

This eight-part documentary series goes back stage to cover six months in the life of London's Theater Royal Haymarket from all angles, including the arrival of new artistic director Sean Mathias and the lead up to his production of Samuel Beckett's "Waiting for Godot," starring Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart. The fourth episode covers the story of the haunted theater, focusing on the ghost of former theater manager John Buckstone, who died in 1879. Several employees claim to have sighted him around the auditorium and as volunteers plan to lock themselves in the theater to witness paranormal activity first hand, Stewart sees him onstage during a performance.
