Overview
Ghost Stories broke all box-office records at the Liverpool Playhouse and the Lyric Hammersmith before moving into the West End for a 13 month run. Since the West End it has also been produced in Toronto and Moscow, in total it has now scared over 300,000 people worldwide.
A truly terrifying theatrical experience written and directed by The League of Gentlemen's master of the macabre, Jeremy Dyson, and Andy Nyman, co-creator and director of Derren Brown's television and stage shows and star of Dead Set, Severance and Kick Ass 2.
Ghost Stories mixes the very best of theatre with the buzz of a thrill-ride, delivering something truly unique. With some new moments of shock, this revival promises more jolts than ever. You haven’t seen horror, until you’ve seen it live…

Ghoulishness and droll surprises in returning cult horror show
Bad dreams guaranteed by this horribly clever show
An evening that succeeds triumphantly in making the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, and the pit of your stomach lurch uncomfortably
The tension emanating from my companion was palpable
