Lyric Hammersmith Theatre has announced the cast and creative team for their upcoming production of Ghosts, which runs at the venue from 10 April-10 May.

Reuniting the team behind the critically acclaimed Iphigenia in Splott, Gary Owen’s reimagining of Henrik Ibsen’s classic play will be directed by Artistic Director Rachel O’Riordan.

The cast 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.

Callum Scott Howells said: "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."

The production has set and costume design by Merle Hensel, lighting by Simisola Majekodunmi, sound by Donato Wharton, music by Simon Slater, and casting by Anna Cooper CDG.

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.

Director and Artistic Director of the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre, Rachel O’Riordan, said: “Ghosts is my fifth time collaborating with Gary Owen and I’m delighted to be bringing his radical reimagining of Ibsen’s classic to the Lyric stage in our 130th anniversary year. In transporting the action of the play to present day England, its themes of family loyalty and the legacy of inheritance reveal themselves to be as timely as ever. I couldn’t be prouder of the powerhouse cast we’ve assembled to tell this bold, thrilling story and cannot wait for audiences to see them in action.”

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.
