Delving into our worst fears and deepest impulses, this exhilarating play about a cynical supernatural researcher has a strictly limited run at Holborn's Peacock Theatre over the Halloween period. “Genuine scary fun” (The Sunday Times), Ghost Stories is the perfect viewing for Spooky Season, so book your tickets now - if you dare…
What is the play Ghost Stories about?
Narrated by Philip Goodman, Professor of Parapsychology - the study of the paranormal - Ghost Stories probes into the supernatural and spooky by recounting tales of eerie encounters with the uncanny. The sceptical Goodman interviews the subjects of three apparent hauntings: a night watchman, a teen boy, and a businessman who is also a dad-to-be. But as each chilling story unfolds, Goodman’s rationality is pushed to the brink, and he finds himself running out of logical explanations…
A love letter to the horror genre, Ghost Stories premiered at Liverpool Playhouse in 2010 and has since enjoyed multiple West End runs, including a stint at the Duke of York’s Theatre that same year. The play has chilled and thrilled audiences internationally, with performances in Japan, Australia and the US, and in 2017 a film adaptation was made starring Andy Nyman, Paul Whitehouse and Martin Freeman.
Who are the cast and creative team of Ghost Stories?

The show was very entertaining and intense because it was condensed into an hour and a half. There were effective jump scares achieved through sound and stage lighting. Highly recommended for fans of the horror genre.
