KEY VISUAL Das Gespenst von Cantervill
As modern, enlightened Americans who are armed against fake news of all kinds, they believe neither in spooks nor in ghosts. Sir Simon does his best to live up to his reputation as a ghost of stature. But he fails because of the Otis family's ignorance. With his head hanging, the ghost sees his days numbered at Canterville Castle.
Oscar Wilde's classic is retold in a contemporary production.
