Ghost Stories announces cast for West End return

Jeremy Dyson and Andy Nyman‘s Ghost Stories is heading back to London, and casting has now been revealed.

The supernatural play will return to the West End for a limited season, playing at the Peacock Theatre from 30 September to 8 November, with a gala performance scheduled for 8 October.

The piece follows Professor Goodman, a skeptic determined to debunk the paranormal, who investigates three hauntings reported by a night-watchman, a teenage boy, and a businessman expecting his first child. His quest challenges the limits of rationality.

The cast will feature David Cardy (Birds of a Feather) as Tony Matthews, Jonathan Guy Lewis (London’s Burning) as Professor Goodman, Clive Mantle (Casualty) as Mike Priddle, Preston Nyman (Mufasa: The Lion King) as Simon Rifkind, Lloyd McDonagh (The Mind Mangler) as The Others, with Simon Bass (Farm Hall) and Harry Rundle (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child) serving as understudies.

Joining writers and directors Dyson and Nyman on the creative team are Sean Holmes (director), Jon Bausor (set and costume designer), James Farncombe (lighting designer), Nick Manning (sound designer), Scott Penrose (special effects), Ginny Schiller (casting director), Andy Room (associate director), Lloyd McDonagh (movement supervisor), Rebeca Gunstone (costume supervisor) and Will Edwards (props supervisor).

Audiences are warned that the show contains extreme shock and tension, making it unsuitable for those under 15 or with a nervous disposition.
