Ghost Stories won The WHITE LIGHT Best Lighting Designer award for James Farncombe’s eerie atmospheric work at the 2011 WhatsOnStage Awards.

The production carries a warning: “Please be advised that Ghost Stories contains moments of extreme shock and tension. The show is unsuitable for anyone under the age of 16. We strongly advise those of a nervous disposition to think very seriously before attending.”
