Shocking Story with Ghosts

*Press review written on behalf of Stage To Page

Originally written in 1882, Ghosts by Henrik Ibsen is a renowned and once-controversial classic. This bold reimagining by Gary Owen brings the story into a modern and emotionally raw context at the Lyric Hammersmith.

The narrative follows Helena, who is determined to honour her late husband’s memory by funding a new hospital. Her son, Oz, returns home for the grand opening—but as time goes on dark secrets emerge about the man they once revered. Helena’s lawyer urges her to distance the project from her husband’s name, threatening to dismantle the legacy she’s so desperately trying to preserve.
