Ghost Stories in London
Created by Jeremy Dyson and Andy Nyman, Ghost Stories has broken records and captivated audiences on multiple West End, UK and International tours since it was first staged in 2010. Now the show returns to London for a limited time in autumn 2025. Are you brave enough to experience suspense, shock and supernatural terror?
Ghost Stories - The Story
Ghost Stories takes audiences on an 80-minute psychological thriller that builds to a shocking and unforgettable twist. The production likes to keep its secrets so no spoilers here! It follows a Professor of Parapsychology named Dr. Goodman as he presents a lecture on ghostly encounters. As the chilling tales from recorded interviews he presents unfold, the line between reality and fear begins to blur.
About Ghost Stories
The play, written by Jeremy Dyson and Andy Nyman, was first performed at the Liverpool Playhouse in a co-production with the Lyric Hammersmith in 2010. Ghost Stories went on to transfer to London's West End, playing two successful runs at the Duke of York's Theatre and the Ambassadors Theatre. It was adapted into a film in 2017 which featured Andy Nyman, Paul Whitehouse, Alex Lawther and Martin Freeman. Most recently, the production has been touring around the UK which the London run is a part of.
Ghost Stories Cast and Creatives
Ghost Stories features direction by the originating director Sean Holmes. The creative team is completed by Jon Bausor as set and costume designer, lighting design by James Farncombe, sound design by Nick Manning and special effects by Scott Penrose.

immersiveIt’s quite an intimate theatre so space is a little of a premium. If waiting to use the facilities or on way to refreshments don’t be shy in asking if the person in front of you is waiting for the same, they may not be :) Overall, it’s a lovely venue, great acoustics, very atmospheric, brilliant show, if you love ghostly things you’ll love this, totally recommend

All 4 members of our party agreed the whole thing was totally bizarre and pretty boring, so much so that various times throughout the performance we all had spells of nodding off. It definitely was not scary in the slightest and we were just relieved that we ended up getting our tickets for half price as we most certainly would not have been happy spending over £50 each to see it... We thought it strange when we arrived to find the venue half empty ...on a Saturday and such a small venue ?????

ghost storiesWe enoyed the show, the acting was good as was the atmosphere in the theatre. The story is good and the comedy fits nicely in. My only comment would be is was not as scary as I'd expected. I had heard so much about the show and thought i'd leave having being scared silly. You will enjoy the show but don't expect to be scared sh**less

Fabulously scary!My husband and I loved how they used the stage and props it felt like we where really there. I was not expecting to be as frightened as we where, it was fantastic and I would see it again in a heartbeat. I would not recommend this show if you really don't like being frightened! Defiantly not for the faint hearted! Well done to the cast and crew! Thank you for such a great experience!

If you like a scare, this a must see ...There was nothing I didn't like about this show. It was brilliantly written, well acted, and truly terrifying. I would consider myself an avid Horror (not gore) fan, and enjoy clever writing and an original plot. This hit the mark for me, genuine scares, brilliant use of props and lighting - this kept me and the hubby talking for hours afterwards, disecting the subtleties, the little hints and over all amazing show! Can't recommend this highly enough xx

Review: GHOST STORIES at The Ambassadors Theatre
by John Yap | Monday, October 14 2019, 09:35
Nine years after its premiere at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre in 2010, GHOST STORIES returns to London for the fourth time (Duke of York Theatre 2010, Arts Theatre 2014, Lyric Hammersmith Theatre again 2019). A movie was made in the midst of an International tour from Moscow to Shanghai via Lima, Sydney and Toronto. As the main character, Professor Goodman, asks the audience at the start of the show, “Why did you come to see this play?”. Why indeed, but they do.
Your e-tickets for Ghost Stories at the Peacock Theatre will be emailed to you just after your reservation.
