Eighty years after Josephine Leslie first wrote it under a man’s name to be taken seriously, The Ghost & Mrs Muir is finally getting the stage it deserves.
Director Kenneth Hoyt has known for twenty-six years that there was a musical waiting inside the 1945 novel. Now, with writer Peter Sham and composer Kevin Purcell joining him, that musical is finally taking shape.
At its heart the story is simple. A woman decides to live on her own terms. The ghost who shares her house decides to stay. What happens between them is anything but simple.
The announcement comes as Sham and Purcell are in the final stages of bringing their musical adaptation of To Catch A Thief to London’s West End.
