About this show
Merging together the spooky, silly and sentimental, this comedy musical is about confronting the past, accepting yourself and knowing when to let go. When three siblings are given the job of clearing out their old teacher’s possessions after a fatal accident, they discover there’s more to the house than it seems... With the help of some resident ghosts, can the trio figure out what is causing these bizarre accidents and prevent it from happening again? Happy Sad are thrilled to bring this bone-chilling and heart-warming tale back to the Fringe this year!

There is something wonderfully Fringe-like about Moving On. An Edinburgh company writes an entirely original musical, assembles seven actors and a three-piece live band, fills a stage with removal boxes and ghosts, and…
A ghost gives the warning as three removal workers enter Arcane Manor carrying what looks like a coffin. It is only packing boxes.
