HFH Productions and Hampstead Theatre have announced that the world premiere of Jamie Armitage’s A Ghost In Your Ear is extending its run, now playing until 31 January 2026. First-look production images have also been released.
Writer and Director Jamie Armitage said:
“Hearing the gasps and screams from audiences during previews has been a true thrill! It’s a special reward for all the phenomenal work by our cast and team throughout the process. What makes me especially happy is how both horror fans and non-horror fans have been responding so positively, and I love that the extension means even more people can come see our spooky ghost story!”
Starring George Blagden as George and Jonathan Livingstone as Sid, A Ghost In Your Ear immerses audiences in a chilling experience using binaural sound technology. Audience members wear headphones to be fully enveloped in the terrifying auditory world of the play.
The story begins when an actor arrives late at a sound studio for a last-minute audiobook recording of a ghost story. But as the night unfolds, the horrors escape the pages and haunt the studio itself.
This new play comes from Jamie Armitage, writer/director of the 2024 sell-out hit An Interrogation, and is made in collaboration with Ben and Max Ringham (ANNA, National Theatre; Blindness, Donmar Warehouse).
The creative team includes Gurnesha Bola (Dramaturg), Anisha Fields (Set and Costume Design), Ben Jacobs (Lighting Designer), Becky Paris CDG (Casting Director), Matt Russell (Associate Sound Designer), and Robert Strange (Movement Consultant).
Press night will take place on 8 January 2026 at Hampstead Downstairs.
