For three centuries, an ethereal specter has haunted the grand ancestral dwelling of Lord Canterville's lineage. Wearied by the spectral presence, the Canterville family seeks reprieve. Thus, Lord Canterville makes a momentous decision—to sell his storied mansion to an American family. The eager purchaser, Mr. Hiram B. Otis, acquires the house and its resident ghost with peculiar enthusiasm, for, as everyone knows, Americans hold no faith in apparitions. With the Canterville ghost resolved to evoke spine-tingling terror among the Otis clan, a grand performance of fright is set in motion. Yet, these Americans prove to be an altogether different breed—two rambunctious young boys and a family who hold their ground firmly in the face of the supernatural. As the ghost's grand plans unravel, unforeseen surprises await, revealing that even phantoms can be met with unexpected turns of fate.

Born in Dublin in 1854, Oscar Wilde was educated at home till the age of nine. He attended the Portora Royal School, Enniskillen from 1864 to 1871. In 1874, he graduated from Trinity College, Dublin. Wilde’s first play, Vera: or the Nihilists, did not meet much success. He refined his ideas about art, its purpose and supremacy, and incorporated themes of decadence, duplicity, and beauty into his only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890). Continuing his interest in theatre he wrote Salome, a play in one act, in 1891. Wilde became one of the most successful playwrights of the late Victorian London after producing four comedies—Lady Windermere’s Fan, A Woman of No Importance, An Ideal Husband, and The Importance of Being Earnest. First performed in 1895 in collaboration with George Alexander at St. James’s Theater, London, The Importance of Being Earnest was considered Wilde’s masterpiece and continues to remain his most popular play. The Ballad of Reading Gaol, published in 1898, was his last work. Wilde died in 1900 at the age of 46, in Paris.
