Created by The League of Gentlemen's Jeremy Dyson and Andy Nyman, Ghost Stories is a truly terrifying theatrical experience that's back in the West End for a strictly-limited 6-week run over Halloween.

Professor Goodman is a paranormal sceptic who sets out to debunk three local ghostly hauntings – as witnessed by a night-watchman, a teenage boy, and a businessman awaiting his first child. But as Goodman starts to investigate the supernatural encounters he finds himself running out of rational explanations, drawing the audience into a web of dread that leaves them on the edge of their seats.

The spine-tingling show's intense atmosphere and genuinely shocking scares has been terrifying West End audiences for three years. The fear factor is enhanced by the immersive staging and eerie sound design. Much of the play takes place in near darkness, lit only by some ghostly torches and car headlights.

What the theatre critics say...

Daily Express: ★★★★ "Truly terrifying theatrical experience"; Sunday Times: ★★★★ "Genuine scary fun"; Time Out: ★★★★ "An immaculately crafted evening of entertainment"; Daily Telegraph: ★★★★ "Brilliant and deeply unsettling"
