Following its 2010/11 West End run, Jeremy Dyson and Andy Nyman's Ghost Stories has returned to the West End. The creators ask the press and audience to keep the show's plot a secret which makes it a little more challenging to review, but it's important to see Ghost Stories without knowing any spoilers.

Ghost Stories returning to the West End

It has been announced that Jeremy Dyson and Andy Nyman's Ghost Stories will return to the West End next year. The production will open at the Arts Theatre on 28th February 2014 (previews from 13th February) and run until 24th May 2014.

Ghost Stories broke all box-office records at the Liverpool Playhouse and Lyric Hammersmith before scaring over 130, 000 people at the West End's Duke of York's Theatre between June 2010 and July 2011.

Ghost Stories is described as a "truly terrifying theatrical experience." The show mixes the very best of theatre with the buzz of a thrill-ride, delivering something truly unique. With some new moments of shock, this revival promises more jolts than ever."
