Re-situating this classic story into the modern day, Ghosts follows Helene Alving as she grapples with the legacy of her late husband’s debauchery while trying to protect her son, Oswald, from the consequences of the past. When he returns to the family home for the grand unveiling of a new children's hospital bearing his name, ambitions will threaten to unravel the family's most tightly kept secrets.
The production comes on the heels of the theatre's success with A Doll's House and Accidental Death of an Anarchist.
Ghosts will play at the Lyric Hammersmith from 10 April - 10 May 2025.
