  • 📜 "A bit of war. Someone win, don't know who... Someone lose, don't know who..." Having died thousands of years ago, Robin has seen it all. From the Ice Age, to the invention of 'ele-trickery' and beyond, Laurence Rickard reads the caveman's guide to everything that has ever happened in the history of the world, from the BBC programme's new companion book: The Button House Archives.
    An Evening with the Cast of Ghosts was originally broadcast on Sun 29 Oct live from the Gillian Lynne Theatre, in London.
