Cast revealed for Jamie Armitage’s horror play A Ghost in Your Ear

Casting has been confirmed for Jamie Artmitage’s upcoming play.

Armitage returns as writer and director with A Ghost in Your Ear, created with sound designers Ben and Max Ringham.

He will direct George Blagden and Jonathan Livingstone when the piece debuts at Hampstead Theatre.

The play uses binaural sound, where the audience wears headphones to immerse themselves in a recording studio setting where fiction and reality begin to blur.

It follows an actor, who arrives late at a sound studio for a last-minute job that he has yet to see the script for: an audiobook recording of a particularly chilling ghost story.

Armitage said: “It is a true privilege to have George and Jonathan as the cast to bring this new horror play to life. They are actors I’ve admired for a long time, and their brilliance as storytellers will be essential to guide the audience through this headphone horror show.

“I am so excited for everyone to experience their thrilling performances, which will be enhanced by the innovative sound design from Ben and Max Ringham, so that the horror can be whispered right into the audience’s ears. It should be a horrifying delight!”

Presented by HFH Productions and Hampstead Downstairs, casting is by Becky Paris. Audiences are advised that this play is intentionally looking to scare, and to take caution if you are of a nervous disposition.

A Ghost in Your Ear plays from 6 December 2025 to 24 January 2026.
