Ghost Stories Returns to the West End for a Limited Season
Jeremy Dyson and Andy Nyman’s supernatural thriller Ghost Stories is heading back to the West End for a limited engagement. After completing its first-ever full UK tour, the play will return to scare and thrill audiences at the Peacock Theatre from 30 September to 8 November 2025.
Ghost Stories – A Spine-Chilling 90-Minute Thrill Ride
Ghost Stories follows Professor Goodman, a staunch skeptic determined to debunk paranormal phenomena. His investigation into three hauntings — reported by a night-watchman, a teenage boy, and a businessman expecting his first child — pushes the boundaries of rationality and confronts the terrifying unknown. The creators have promised a heart-pounding experience:
“We are delighted that Ghost Stories will be returning to scare the hell out of West End audiences after its first-ever UK tour. It’s extraordinary that after 15 years, Ghost Stories is still going strong. We’re excited to share the screams, the laughs, the scares, and the leap-out-of-your-seat sensory experience that this 90-minute thrill ride offers.”
