About Ghost Stories
Don’t miss Ghost Stories as it returns to the West End for a limited Halloween season at the Peacock Theatre. Written by Andy Nyman and Jeremy Dyson (The League of Gentlemen), this performance is sure to deliver an electrifying night of theatre. Book Ghost Stories tickets on TodayTix.
Ghost Stories in London tells the tale of Professor Goodman, a self-proclaimed sceptic of the supernatural. He investigates three terrifying hauntings, and his world of reason and logic begins to fade away. Recounted from a lonely night-watchman, a troubled teenage boy, and a businessman awaiting his first child, each story forces the Professor to question what’s real and what may be lurking in the shadows.
This incredible show blends classic scary storytelling with the genius of live theatre performance, delivering a visceral thrill that has kept audiences on the edge of their seats for the last 15 years. You do not want to miss this smashing performance.

More information about Ghost Stories
Ghost Stories is a play that has haunted audiences globally since 2010. The talented director of this revival is Sean Holmes who masterfully balances live performance with psychological terror.
Featuring an incredible cast led by Jonathan Guy Lewis as Professor Goodman, alongside David Cardy, Preston Nyman, Clive Mantle, Lloyd McDonagh, Simon Bass, and Harry Rundle, this production brings its eerie world to life.
This play has an excellent creative team, including set and costume designer Jon Bausor, lighting designer James Farncombe, costume supervisor Rebeca Gunstone, and sound designer Nick Manning.
The Sunday Times wrote about this play, saying “Dread of mortality, guilt and shame over our past misdeeds, schadenfreude, prurience, terror of the other or the unknown: these are among the spectres it raises. It’s deliciously theatrical and chimes, too, with our digital age: what is real, what is fake? What mysteries remain?”
This revival promises to be a night audiences won’t soon forget. Are you brave enough to book?
