The Critically Acclaimed Thriller Arrives on Stage Direct from a Sold-Out Run in London
When an actor arrives late to a sound studio for a last-minute audiobook recording session, he is handed the script of a chilling ghost story to read. But as the engineer cues the recording and the evening wears on, the horrors slowly begin to escape the page to haunt the studio itself.
A GHOST IN YOUR EAR is the “truly terrifying headphone horror” (The Guardian) from the darkly brilliant mind of Tony Award® nominee Jamie Armitage (SIX), made in collaboration with Ben and Max Ringham (ANNA, National Theatre). A mesmerizing blend of gothic horror and psychological thriller, this cutting-edge theatrical experience uses groundbreaking binaural sound technology to immerse every audience member in a haunting world of sound. And at Audible’s Minetta Lane Theatre — one of New York’s most intimate venues — there’s no escaping the frights. Enter if you dare.
