Ghost Stories 2010

Thu 4 Feb to Sat 20 Feb 2010

Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse and Lyric Hammersmith present the world première of Ghost Stories by Jeremy Dyson and Andy Nyman.

You saw it here first!

A truly terrifying theatrical experience written and directed by The League of Gentlemen master of the macabre, Jeremy Dyson, and Andy Nyman, co-creator and director of Derren Brown’s television and stage shows and star of Dead Set and Severance. 

A spectacular 80 minute ride that will chill and thrill in equal measure…you’ll be sleeping with the light on!
