OSCAR WILDE’S
CANTERVILLE GHOST
Touring Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou
The Canterville Ghost is a popular 1887 novella by Oscar Wilde, widely adapted for the screen and stage. It is a parody featuring a dramatic spirit named Sir Simon and the widow of a United States ambassador and her children. The Otis’ travels to England and moves into a country house owned by Lord Canterville, which has been haunted by the ghost of Sir Simon de Canterville ever since he killed his wife, Eleonore, three centuries before. What emerges is a satire of American materialism, a lampoon of traditional British values, and an amusing twist on the traditional gothic horror tale.
