The production originally opened at the Liverpool Playhouse in 2010 before it transferred to the Lyric Theatre and the West End. Ghost Stories is renowned for its chilling atmosphere and spine-tingling scares.
David Cardy (Birds of a Feather) will play Tony Matthews, Jonathan Guy Lewis (London’s Burning) will play Professor Goodman, Clive Mantle (Casualty) will play Mike Priddle, Preston Nyman (Mufasa: The Lion King) will play Simon Rifkind, Lloyd McDonagh (The Mind Mangler) will play The Others, with Simon Bass (Farm Hall) and Harry Rundle (Harry Potter & The Cursed Child) as understudies.
Jeremy Dyson and Andy Nyman said of the return of their celebrated terrifying tales to the West End: “We are delighted that Ghost Stories will be returning to scare the hell out of West End audiences after its first ever UK tour. It's an extraordinary thing for us that after fifteen years Ghost Stories is still going strong. It’s so exciting to be able to share the screams, the laughs, the scares and the leap-out-of-your seat sensory-experience of the ninety-minute thrill ride that Ghost Stories is.”
The play follows Professor Goodman, a paranormal investigator who delivers a lecture on three mysterious, unexplained cases of supernatural occurrences. As the stories unfold, the audience is drawn deeper into the eerie and unsettling world of each character, culminating in a shocking and unforgettable twist.
Ghost Stories will play at the Peacock Theatre from 30 September to 8 November.
