Seven years since the fire; Seven years since a mother and son died in the attic; Seven years since Edward locked the door...; Seven years later, he still sits in the room below, tormented by their ghosts, refusing to accept they are gone.
We asked the cast what they are afraid of...hopefully not the dark.

Here's the thrid episode of our weekly catch-up chat show with the cast of Bedroom Farce. Playing at the New Wolsey Theatre, Ipswich from 19th April 2012.
Mining the same rich comic vein as A Chorus Of Disapproval and Noises Off, Ayckbourn's classic farce shows how four couples into three bedrooms simply won't go.
Trevor and Susannah are having marital problems - again. Rowing, making up, sulking, shouting, flirting, fighting - and always in other people's bedrooms.
Their friends, their parents, their ex'es, and their in-laws all have their cosy bedrooms and their comfortable relationships thrown into turmoil by this tempestuous relationship.
During one chaotic night we see the action unfold in three separate bedrooms, as Trevor and Susannah wreak havoc on the sleep, security and soft furnishings of all those around them. And of course, the only ones who end up in harmony and in bed are - Trevor and Susannah.
Ingenious, inventive and incredibly funny.
"He [Ayckbourn] has an acute observation of people and their multiple vulnerable points, an uncanny ear for the subtleties of conversation. Yet even when he is showing us foolishness, he is humorously aware of the inadequacies of man and woman, and above all else his characters are warm and lovable human beings."

Following hot on the heels of their acclaimed Moby Dick, Spymonkey's gloriously anarchic physical comedy combines with the playful storytelling verve of Kneehigh's Emma Rice and Carl Grose to create an outrageous no-holds-barred subversion of the quintessential Greek tragedy.
New Wolsey Theatre 7th - 10th March 2012
Part gig, part play, REASONS TO BE CHEERFUL raised the roof in 2010 with its red-hot band and gritty coming of age tale, leaving audiences shouting for more.
In Spring 2012 more is what they will get -- the acclaimed smash hit musical returns on a 1633 mile epic tour of the UK.
Kicking off at the New Wolsey Theatre, REASONS TO BE CHEERFUL will then visit Hall for Cornwall, Hull Truck Theatre, Watford Palace Theatre, Dundee Rep, Dury's old stamping ground Hackney Empire and finally Nottingham Playhouse.
Hits such as "Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll", "Sweet Gene Vincent", "Spasticus Autisticus" and "Hit Me with your Rhythm Stick" will fill theatres with raucous glee once again.
While we were filming all the behind the scenes Robin Hood content for you, we obviously had some unexpected moments. Here they are in all their glory!
