Lyric Hammersmith Theatre welcomes Ghosts

Spooky secrets…

Lyric Hammersmith Theatre have recently confirmed the cast and creatives for their upcoming production of Ghosts which runs at the venue from 10 April – 10 May 2025. Reuniting the team behind the critically acclaimed Iphigenia in Splott, Gary Owen’s reimagining of Henrik Ibsen’s classic play is directed by Artistic Director Rachel O’Riordan.

Casting for the production includes Patricia Allison (Sex Education, A Dolls House Part 2) as Reggie, Callum Scott Howells (It’s a Sin, Cabaret, Romeo & Julie) as Oz, Victoria Smurfit (Rivals, Bloodlands) as Helena, Rhashan Stone (Tambo & Bones, Keeping Faith) as Anderson and Deka Walmsley (Roots, Look Back in Anger) as Jacob.

Victoria Smurfit:

“As a long-time admirer of the Lyric and Rachel, to join her cast in Ghosts is a wish I had not been brave enough to wish for but one I am thrilled has now come true!”

Callum Scott Howells:

“I am very excited to be part of this project. Gary Owen’s adaptation sheds brilliant new light on Ibsen’s extraordinary piece and in Rachel O’Riordan’s hands it promises to be an exciting ride. I am looking forward to getting started and getting to know my fellow cast members.”

Patricia Allison:

“I’m thrilled to be working on Ghosts; it feels exciting to be part of this new rendition of it.”

Helena is a woman on a mission. Since the death of her high-flying husband, she has dedicated herself to reclaiming his legacy. And her hard work is about to pay off, with a new children’s hospital bearing his name on the brink of opening.

But when their son Oz returns to the family home for the grand unveiling, he has ambitions of his own. Ambitions that threaten to unravel their family’s most tightly kept secrets.
