Ghosts is a scandalous and searing exploration of family secrets and forbidden desires.

For the first time ever in the candlelit Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, experience the work of Henrik Ibsen, one of the most influential dramatists of all time, with his scandalous Ghosts, a searing exploration of family secrets and forbidden desire.

Plagued by the ugly truth of her late husband’s legacy, Helene vows to erase the past and start again.

Ignorant to the reality of his father’s character, Osvald, her son, returns home to face an uncertain future. But when the ember of an illicit romance stands to ruin Helene’s plans to play happy family, she is forced to make a decision that threatens to engulf what’s left of her – and her son’s – life completely.

Director Joe Hill-Gibbins (The Marriage of Figaro, ENO; The Tragedy of King Richard the Second, Almeida), makes his Globe debut, with a new adaptation of the first modern tragedy to hit the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, almost 150 years after it first caused a stir with its depiction of incest, infection, and euthanasia.
