OHMYGOD HEY! This week I headed to the Lyric Hammersmith in London to see GHOSTS, Gary Owen’s new contemporary adaptation of the classic Henrik Ibsen play.
In this new updated version, Victoria Smurfit stars as Helena Alving alongside Callum Scott Howells as her son Oz.
This world premiere production re-situates this classic story into the modern day, and follows in the footsteps of similarly re-lensed classics in the Lyric’s recent history including A Doll’s House and Accidental Death of an Anarchist.
Check out this full review to find out what I thought of this play as a piece, its themes, and its relationship to the original text…
