Poster Design Brief

I am looking for an A3 poster and DL flyer for a theatre production taking place in Australia called 'The Haunting'.

Use the below synopsis for inspiration;
In an ancient, crumbling mansion, sheltering from the howling winds that tear across the surrounding desolate moorland, two men stumble across a dark and terrifying secret that will change their lives forever…

When a young book dealer, David Filde, is employed by a former associate of his uncle to catalogue an impressive library, he finds an incredible array of rare and antiquated books. But as a series of strange and unexplained events conspire to keep Filde from his work, he realises that if he is to convince his sceptical employer that the mysterious phenomena he is experiencing are real, they must journey together to the very edge of terror, and beyond, to discover the source of the ghostly night-time visitations...

Requirements

Must have

• A3 poster must include the following text;
• THE HAUNTING
• ADAPTED BY HUGH JANES FROM GHOST STORIES BY CHARLES DICKENS (THE HAUNTING and CHARLES DICKENS can be in the same font)
• Performance dates: 12 June to 1st July 2017
• The Athenaeum
• Book now at Ticketek (Ticketek logo attached)
• "This is the undeniable thrill of a live theatre scarefest" - The Echo (UK)
• "A chilling re-production of the Dickens’ stories, a terrifyingly brilliant night out" - The Herald (UK)
• The poster must be interesting to look at and getting the key artwork right is imperative as this will be used on poster, flyer and online platforms.

Nice to have

• The exterior of an old house (possibly layered)
• A large old tree outside the house
• Last will and testament (possibly layered)
• A single shaft of lightning

Should not have

• As the poster is to be printed, dark colours should be kept to a minimum. The 'dark' feel should be created with brighter colours piercing through.
