Watch the play Ghost by Ibsen at the Duchess Theater in London. Tickets are available here!
Lesley Sharp, Iain Glen, Harry Treadaway, Jessica Raine and Malcolm Storry unite in Frank McGuinness' version of Henrik Ibsen's gripping, classic tale of hope in the face of infidelity and deceit. Controversy and hidden pasts are suddenly and painfully exposed as wealthy widow Mrs Alving prepares to open a new orphanage in memory of her seemingly beloved husband. Her treasured son Oswald's return from Paris and her relationship with old friend Pastor Manders are no longer the source of joy they once were, as secrets are turned into a frightening and desperate reality.

Jessica Raine, newly graduated from RADA and seen in “Gethsemane” at the National Theatre, will play ‘Regine’. Malcolm Storry, a veteran of the West End and recently ‘Gandolf’ in “The Lord Of The Rings” at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane and ‘Basilio’ in “Life Is A Dream” at the Donmar, will play ‘Engstrand’.
“GHOSTS” will be designed by Stephen Brimson Lewis, with lighting by Oliver Fenwick, and sound & music by Richard Hammarton. With associate direction by Amelia Sears, Iain Glen will direct.
“GHOSTS” will be co-presented in the West End by Thelma Holt and Nica Burns.
