The Broadway’s ghost is called Emily. She is known to like a table to be kept in one particular spot backstage. If it is ever moved, things begin to get interesting…

[Broadway Theatre @BroadwayBarking]

While the theatre is closed, we have illuminated our ghost light. This is a tradition which dates back to the days of gaslit theatres when a light was kept burning to relieve pressure on the gas. It is also a safety measure: 1/3

[Broadway Theatre @BroadwayBarking]

If there are multiple entrances to the stage when the building is dark and empty, the ghost light prevents anyone from injury from walking into objects or falling off the edge of the stage.
Ghost lights are therefore very practical and utilised in theatres around the world 2/4

[Broadway Theatre @BroadwayBarking]

but they also have a spiritual meaning. The lights are said to ward away mischievous spirits who might cause accidents to happen in the dark. The light also serves as a guide for the ghosts that are believed to haunt every theatre. 3/4
