Description

There's a legend about the Watch House... Scrape beneath the whitewash and you'll find terror.

You'll find him. Tynemouth, late 1970s. Christmas is coming and Front Street's swinging. But Anne, dumped here while her parents sort their divorce, isn't in the mood.

She escapes to the castle, the Priory, and the beaches.

Best of all, the Watch House. The old coastguard's place is packed with weird treasures and no one bothers her.

Until lights start to flicker and something stirs in the dark nights... Buried deep in the past is a secret which now threatens everything.

Only Anne can stop it. The Watch House is an epic new adaptation of Carnegie Medal-winner Robert Westall's original novel, from Olivier Award-winning theatre-maker Chris Foxon.

This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere at Laurels Theatre in Whitley Bay, in December 2023.
