In an old, crumbling, possibly haunted hotel, a new night porter is being trained. Terry only took the job for a bit of cash, easy money. He thought he would be handing out towels, doing security walks and maybe emptying the odd bin. He didn’t expect to have to deal with Don.

Don is a believer, an investigator of the paranormal, a man who stands on the cusp of hidden dimensions, a conduit of forces we cannot explain, a big fan of Scotch eggs and the progressive rock band Rush.



As the hotel creaks and the lights start to go out Terry begins to wonder if his first night will be his last. The Night Porters is an hilarious and haunting look at how your mind can play tricks on you…and so can other people.

This new black comedy is directed by Robert Stuart who has been nominated at the forthcoming Off West End Awards for his direction of the TimeOut Critics Choice Extremities, also at The Tabard Theatre, in April 2011.
