Hampstead Theatre has announced that the world premiere production of thriller A Ghost in Your Ear is extending in London.
A Ghost in Your Ear was playing at Hampstead Theatre until 31 January 2026, having already extended. The show is now adding more dates until 14 February 2026.
The show is written and directed by Jamie Armitage (An Interrogation, SIX The Musical) in collaboration with award-winning sound designers Ben and Max Ringham.
Billed as “a headphone horror show”, A Ghost in Your Ear places the audience at the heart of the action, with chilling 360-degree sound design.
The cast of A Ghost in Your Ear features George Blagden (Vikings, Versailles) as George, and Jonathan Livingstone (Bridgerton, Hamlet) as Sid.
Set during a late-night recording session, the play follows an actor called in to narrate a ghost story – only for the terrors on the page to start bleeding into the studio itself. Using binaural sound technology, the audience wears headphones, immersing them in a 360-degree soundscape where the ghost might be closer than expected.
Sound designers Ben and Max Ringham bring their celebrated expertise following acclaimed work on Prima Facie (West End/Broadway), A Doll’s House (Broadway) and Blindness (Donmar and international).
The wider creative team includes Gurnesha Bola (Dramaturg), Anisha Fields (Set and Costume Design), Ben Jacobs (Lighting Designer), Becky Paris CDG (Casting Director), Matt Russell (Associate Sound Designer), and Robert Strange (Movement Consultant).
The show was well received by London’s theatre critics, with four-star reviews from all major outlets including TimeOut, The Times, The Guardian and The FT.
A Ghost in Your Ear is now playing at Hampstead Theatre, London until 14 February 2026.
