The worldwide cult phenomenon Ghost Stories will stop off at Aberdeen’s His Majesty’s Theatre from Tuesday, April 1 to Saturday, April 5 as part of its first UK tour.
A truly terrifying theatrical experience created by The League of Gentlemen’s Jeremy Dyson and Andy Nyman, co-creator of Derren Brown’s television and stage shows, Ghost Stories mixes the very best of theatre with the buzz of a thrill-ride, delivering something truly unique.

Aberdeen Performing Arts director of programming and creative projects, Ben Torrie, said: “After petrifying audiences in the West End for two years, Ghost Stories is heading to His Majesty’s to terrify our audiences here in Aberdeen. If you love a jump scare and a healthy dose of scary fun, this one’s for you. Join us if you dare!”
When Professor Goodman, arch-sceptic out to debunk the paranormal, embarks on an investigation of three apparent hauntings – as recounted by a night-watchman, a teenage boy, and a businessman awaiting his first child – Goodman finds himself at the outer limits of rationality, and fast running out of explanations.
Dan Tetsell (Rivals, Disney+) will play Professor Goodman, David Cardy (Birds of a Feather, ITV) will play Tony Matthews, Clive Mantle (Casualty, BBC) will play Mike Priddle, Eddie Loodmer-Elliott (Modi: Three Days on the Wing of Madness) will play Simon Rifkind, with Lloyd McDonagh as The Others, Lucas Albion as ensemble and Simon Bass as understudy.
