IF you're feeling brave, a spine-chilling ghost story comes to North Wales next month.

West End star Tony Timberlake and Thomas Dennis will co-star in When Darkness Falls, coming to Theatr Clwyd.

Inspired by true events, this powerful production takes you into dark pasts, reveals disturbing truths, and asks the question: what exactly are ghosts?

On a stormy night on the small island of Guernsey, a young paranormal expert joins a sceptical history teacher, to record the first in a series of podcasts based on the island's incredible folklore and paranormal history.

As the young expert regales his horrifying stories, the teacher learns we all have our own truth, our own stories. And our own ghosts that haunt us. Ghosts that bring the past, present and future together in unexpected ways.

Tony will play the role of John Blondel at the Mold theatre. He has recently appeared UK tour of Maggie May and in the world-famous The Mousetrap. Previous West End credits include Hairspray, Chicago, Monty Python's Spamalot and Les Misérables.

Tony said: "I'm delighted to be embarking on this tour of When Darkness Falls. Theatres have had it tough recently but are a vital part of our lives and I hope we entertain, thrill and maybe even scare our audiences with this production."

Thomas, who recently appeared in Max Webster's Henry V at the Donmar Warehouse, will play The Speaker. He has also played the roles of Albert in the UK tour War Horse and Christopher in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.

Thomas said: "It's funny being an actor, my imagination is too vivid to watch scary plays and films, I can't sleep for weeks. However, give me the chance to play in one and you'll find me bouncing off the walls. This play is full of challenges. I just can't wait to start merging folklore, history and trauma together to create my own version of The Speaker."
