The creatives of Ghosts

Director Joe Hill-Gibbins (The Marriage of Figaro, ENO; The Tragedy of King Richard the Second, Almeida), makes his Globe debut, with a new adaptation of the first modern tragedy to hit the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, almost 150 years after it first caused a stir with its depiction of incest, infection, and euthanasia.
