The atmospher for the show was ghostly gothic, the characters were just out from their graves but alvie and deadly accurate, the audiencs were glued to their seats and dumfounded seeing some of the characters especially the ghostly spirits from Charles Dickens ghosly storeis were seating along with them.  The dimlight was on and The chief Executive of the Cooltan Arts, Michelle Baharier came by the mike. 

In her unghostly voice she told that “well-being of all” even the deadly characters from the costume and textile department were included in the reference, is at the heart of the Cooltan Arts dedicated to serve those who suffer from the mental health issues.

To put the audience in good mood she told them,”un acustomed as I am to tell jokes but I’d like to try. ” Once Charles Dickes after his long walk into the foggy night of London, walked into a tavern and aproached  the bartender who recongnised him and said, “your usal sir, “with “Olve…….(r)……Twist?”

The audienc already tense because of the ghostly atmosphere found their release and roared with laughter.

Then she comapred the show of the fasion when so many pretty girls never have been model before in their life catwalked and delighted the audience.  Then came the various characters from Dickens as if it was an “Open Day at the Nunhead Cemetery.  One by one to the readings of poems written especailly by the famous Cooltan Poets themselves in their ghostly characters.  Here are some of the scenes from the show:
