Truly terrifying Olivier nominated Ghost Stories returns to the West End

After record-breaking sell-out shows at the Liverpool Playhouse, the Lyric Hammersmith and London’s Arts Theatre, as well as productions in China,  Australia, Canada, Italy & Germany and a smash hit film, the original terrifying live production of Ghost Stories comes to the West End’s Ambassadors Theatre ahead of a planned UK tour. 

Andy Nyman and Jeremy Dyson’s worldwide cult phenomenon combines the best of theatre with the adrenalin of a thrill ride to bring you something truly unique and absolutely riveting and totally terrifying. 

The secret is worth keeping so we won’t tell you any more than you’ll be joining  Dr Goodman, a Professor of Parapsychology, for a lecture on people who have had paranormal experiences. That’s all we’ll say for now, but be prepared for shocks, jolts and frights. This show is not for the faint of heart (or those under 15). 

Cast and Creatives of Ghost Stories

The West End cast of Ghost Stories was recently announced with many from the original Lyric Hammersmith Theatre run set to reprise their roles for the West End transfer. The Ghost Stories cast list includes Simon Lipkin in the main role of Professor Goodman, Gary Cooper as Tony Matthews, Richard Sutton as Mike Priddle, and Preston Nyman as Simon Rifkind.

The creators of Ghost Stories are Jermy Dyson and Andy Nyman. One of the originators of The League of Gentlemen,  award-winning writer Dyson also wrote for The Wrong Mans, Tracey Ullman's Show and Tracey Breaks the News as well as the film adaptation of Ghost Stories. Nyman is co-creator and director of psychological illusionist Derren Brown’s television and stage shows. In addition to his work behind the scenes, Nyman is also an actor who has appeared in Dead Set, Severance, Kick Ass 2 and Peaky Blinders. He also originated the role of Dr Goodman in Ghost Stories, a role he reprised for the film adaptation alongside co-stars Paul Whitehouse, Alex Lawther and Martin Freeman.

Additional information about the cast and creatives of the West End run of Ghost Stories are expected to be announced in due course.

Review: Ghost Stories at the Arts Theatre

The creators of Ghost Stories have made the show even scarier following its 2010/11 West End run. Whilst horror films are hugely popular we don’t see so much horror on stage at it is very challenging. However, Jeremy Dyson and Andy Nyman certainly do the genre justice and horror fans can certainly expect to have their experience enhanced by this terrifying theatrical experience.
