A WORLDWIDE cult play and West End hit, Ghost Stories comes to Bath Theatre Royal from Tuesday 28th January to Saturday 1st February. The drama, created by Jeremy Dyson and Andy Nyman, stars Dan Tetsell, David Cardy and Clive Mantle.

Described as a truly terrifying theatrical experience, Ghost Stories was created by The League of Gentlemen’s Jeremy Dyson and Andy Nyman, co-creator of Derren Brown’s television and stage shows. It mixes sheer theatricality with the buzz of a thrill-ride, keeping the audience on the edge of their seats.

When Professor Goodman (Dan Tetsell), arch-sceptic out to debunk the paranormal, embarks on an investigation of three apparent hauntings – as recounted by a night-watchman, a teenage boy, and a businessman awaiting his first child – he finds himself at the outer limits of rationality and fast running out of explanations.
