Ghost Stories live on stage announces cast for its Melbourne season this September
There’s something dark lurking in the theatre. Enter a nightmarish world, full of thrilling twists and turns, live on stage.
After exhilarating audiences across the globe with record-breaking, sell-out productions, Andy Nyman and Jeremy Dyson’s supernatural sensation Ghost Stories is coming to Melbourne this September.
Get ready for a supernatural, edge-of-your-seat theatrical experience like no other when Ghost Stories transforms Melbourne’s Athenaeum Theatre for a strictly limited season later this year.
The two-time Olivier Award nominated production is a fully sensory and electrifying encounter, where you enter a nightmarish world, full of thrilling twists and turns from the moment you take your seat in the venue.
What is Ghost Stories about? Well the secret is all part of the experience, but what we can tell you is Professor of Parapsychology Phillip Goodman is ready to take you through three of his cases.
This is the type of show where the less you know going in, the better. Little can be revealed about the production’s plot in order to keep you on edge at all times, but what we can promise is that you will be both laughing and jumping out of your seats. Sometimes at the same time.
Who is in the Ghost Stories cast?
Ghost Stories will be led by esteemed playwright and actor Steve Rodgers (Savage River, Kenny) in the role of Professor Phillip Goodman.
Joining him is much-loved screen and stage entertainer Jay Laga’aia (Star Wars, Play School, Once), actor-magician Darcy Brown (Peddling, Animal Farm) and Green Room Award-winner Nick Simpson-Deeks (Winners and Losers, The Circuit, Falsettos).
Ghost Stories is thrilling and spine-tingling, and to immerse audiences in an emotional rollercoaster live on stage, you need an exceptionally talented cast. Steve, Jay, Darcy and Nick each bring an exciting depth to their roles that we cannot wait to see live on stage
