There’s Something Lurking in the Dark: Ghost Stories Haunts the Wales Millennium Centre

If you’re after a quiet night at the theatre, Ghost Stories isn’t it.

Descending upon the Wales Millennium Centre like a creeping fog, the critically acclaimed West End chiller—conjured from the deliciously twisted minds of Jeremy Dyson and Andy Nyman—delivers an electrifying jolt to the senses. It's unsettling, wickedly clever, and just the right amount of wrong. You’ll laugh, you’ll squirm, and you’ll probably end up checking behind the curtains when you get home. Maybe even the wardrobe.

The set design is eerie perfection, a masterclass in suggestion and suspense. The lighting and sound do half the storytelling, guiding you into the shadows and then—when you least expect—pulling the rug out from under you. There’s a real artistry to the way this production plays with atmosphere; it's less about what you see and more about what you think you’ve seen.

Dyson and Nyman have always had a flair for the macabre, but Ghost Stories taps into a deeper unease—one that crawls under the skin and settles in. It’s not just the scares; it’s the psychology behind them. The show knows your fears before you do. You’ll leave with more questions than answers and a wonderfully vague sense of dread. Isn’t that what we call entertainment these days?

A word to the wise: don’t read too much before you go. Half the thrill lies in the unknown. Go in blind, keep your wits about you, and for heaven’s sake, don’t sit too close to the exit. You might be tempted to use it.

This is theatre that grabs hold and doesn’t let go. A brilliant, bone-rattling romp perfect for lovers of the strange and the spine-tingling. Just don’t come alone.

Catch Ghost Stories at the Wales Millennium Centre from 29 July to 2 August 2025—a theatrical thrill not to be missed.
