George Blagden and Jonathan Livingstone will lead the world premiere of Jamie Armitage’s A Ghost In Your Ear.

Both actors make a welcome return to Hampstead Theatre – Jonathan Livingstone previously appeared in Cash Cow and George Blagden appeared in the sell-out success Platinum.

A Ghost In Your Ear is Jamie Armitage’s new play made in collaboration with Ben and Max Ringham (Anna, National Theatre and Blindness, Donmar Warehouse).

An actor arrives late at a sound studio for a last-minute job that he is yet to see the script for: an audiobook recording of a particularly chilling ghost story. But as the evening progresses, the horrors start to escape the pages of the story, and haunt the studio itself... Using binaural sound technology, the audience wears headphones so they are immersed in the terrifying auditory world of the show.

Talking about the show, Jamie Armitage said; “It’s a true privilege to have George and Jonathan as the cast to bring this new play to life. They are actors I’ve admired for a long time, and their brilliance as story-tellers will be essential to guide the audience. 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!”

Jamie Armitage’s previous show An Interrogation was a sell-out hit in the Downstairs studio earlier this year. As a director, Armitage’s work includes co-directing SIX: The Musical, which is currently playing in the West End, Broadway, and multiple locations worldwide - Tony Award nomination for Best Direction of a Musical.

 

A Ghost In Your Ear plays Hampstead Downstairs from 6 December to 24 January.
