Ghosts, they don't die. They don't vanish, they walk the world again. 

Helene Alving has spent her life suspended in an emotional void after the death of her cruel but outwardly charming husband. She is determined to escape the ghosts of her past by telling her son, Oswald, the truth about his father. But on his return from his life as a painter in France, Oswald reveals how he has already inherited the legacy of his father’s dissolute life.

Richard Eyre's spell-binding adaptation has won three Olivier Awards, with Lesley Manville crowned Best Actress and Jack Lowden named Best Supporting Actor.

 

by far and away the best production I have ever seen at the theatre
