Step into the frostbitten streets of Ostler's Ford by Lamplight - a haunting and poetic play for voices that captures an unforgettable winter's evening in a fictional Fenland town. Told through a lyrical blend of dark humour, magical realism, and nostalgic visions, this atmospheric drama introduces a host of unforgettable characters, each wrestling with lost dreams, unspoken desires, and the weight of small-town life. At the heart of it all is the enigmatic Master of Time - a sweeper of dreams - who moves between worlds and whispers truths to the sleeping community.

From Blind-Twitching Margaret and Char Lady Jayne, the town's ever-watchful busybodies, to a tormented folksinger-turned-barista, each voice in Ostler's Ford tells a story that is strange, beautiful, and deeply human. Readers will meet a love-struck student yearning for escape; a failed footballer haunted by fame that never arrived; a ghost that only one man can see, and a local preacher unravelling beneath the weight of his failing faith. The characters are bound together by melancholy, mystery, regret, and flickers of hope.

Perfect for fans of Dylan Thomas's Under Milk Wood or Alan Bennett's Talking Heads, this theatrical experience is a love letter to forgotten places, half-remembered dreams, and the strange magic that lingers in the spaces between. Ostler's Ford by Lamplight is not just an hour-long play - it's an invitation to wander the lanes of a town where time shivers, shadows speak, and nothing is quite as it seems.
