The Canterville Ghost

Virginia must summon all her courage to defend Sir Simon in the court of the dead. Meanwhile the twins search for buried treasure, but things go terribly wrong.

No longer the haunter but the haunted, Sir Simon is reduced to creeping around the house. And after Hiram receives devastating news, Lucy is determined not to wallow in the loss and resolves to host a Christmas ball.

Sir Simon steps up his efforts to terrorize the Americans but the vulgar Colonials still refuse to be frightened. On the contrary, they leave him with a care package that includes oil for his chains and a guide to trauma and recovery.

Sir Simon de Canterville has been playing to an empty house for twenty years when American billionaire inventor Hiram Otis buys Canterville Chase in England, taking contents and ghost at valuation. Relishing the opportunity to be back treading the boards, he painstakingly plans a ‘Spectrecular’ performance as Reckless Rupert the headless Earl, aided by his reluctant side-kick, Cesspitt the rat.
