The Drummer, or, The Haunted House

About this film

LibriVox recording of The Drummer, or, The Haunted House by Joseph Addison. Read in English by a full cast. Lady Truman received word fourteen months ago that her husband, Sir George Truman, has died in battle. Now a very eligible widow with a large estate, she has more suitors than she knows what to do with. As if that wasn't enough, her house is now being haunted at night by the horrible and ghostly sound of a drum, apparently caused by the restless spirit of her husband. When an old man arrives who claims to be able to lay the spirit to rest, she is so desperate for relief that she determines to give him a chance. Written with wit and good humor, this play will have you laughing out loud! - Summary by Devorah Allen Cast List Sir George Truman: Larry Wilson Tinsel: Tomas Peter Fantome, the Drummer: Son of the Exiles Vellum, Sir George Truman's Steward: ToddHW Butler: TJ Burns Coachman: Campbell Schelp Gardener: alanmapstone Lady Truman: Beth Thomas Abigal: Availle Stage Directions: Devorah Allen For further information, including links to online text, reader information, RSS feeds, CD cover or other formats (if available), please go to the LibriVox catalog page for this recording…
