On paper R. C. Sherriff's play The White Carnation, which has transferred to the Jermyn Street from the Finborough Theatre, sounds like another spooky play about Ghosts. However, this could not be further from the truth. Yes - The White Carnation may be about a man who returns to the house he was killed in years later, but it is not R. C. Sherriff's intention to frighten or startle the audience.
