Review Quote: 

“The Suitcase Royale produced the best local show of the festival last year, but this year they go one better and may have produced the best show overall. The Ghosts of Ricketts Hill is a inventive, hilarious, energetic and completely off-the-wall piece of theatre that’s unlike anything else in the festival. It’s also filled with the Suitcase Royale’s trademark ‘junkyard’ special effects and features the second-most ludicrous ending of any show I’ve seen. The ABC and SBS talent scouts should be looking at these guys (as should the Barry Award judges), because they deserve to be let loose on television. The potential is there for these guys to become Australia’s own Mighty Boosh.
