The production marks the latest collaboration between playwright Gary Owen and director Rachel O’Riordan, following the success of Romeo & Julie at the National Theatre and Iphigenia in Splott, which won the UK Theatre Best New Play award and the James Tait Black Prize for Drama.
Ghosts follows in the footsteps of similarly reimagined classics at the Lyric, including A Doll’s House and Accidental Death of an Anarchist.

Ghosts runs from 10 April to 10 May 2025 at the Lyric Hammersmith, London.
