A theatrical adaptation of Oscar Wilde's classic Gothic tale about an American family who moves into an English castle that is haunted.

About the venue: SLEZSKOOSTRAVSKÝ HRAD

Slezskoostravský hrad is the only surviving castle within the city of Ostrava, built in the second half of the 13th century at the confluence of the Ostravice and Lučina rivers. Originally a ducal fortress guarding a key trade route, it was converted into a Renaissance château in the 16th century. Coal mining caused the castle to sink by 16 metres and fall into disrepair; after extensive reconstruction it was reopened to the public in 2004. Today it houses permanent exhibitions on the history of the castle and region, and hosts cultural events, markets, and festivals.
