Ghosts Tickets

Get Ghosts tickets and see Henrik Ibsen’s classic 1881 classic wildly reimagined at Lincoln Center Theater this winter. A fascinating thriller, Ghosts plays at the Newhouse Theater in a new production adapted by one of Ireland’s leading writers, Mark O’Rowe (Boy A, Normal People). Three-time Tony Award winner Jack O’Brien (Hairspray, The Coast of Utopia, Henry IV) directs this play in which love, duty and family are mercilessly put to the test. Ghosts tickets will be available on New York Theatre Guide soon.

Experience Ghosts off Broadway and uncover the mystery of the Alving family. Helena’s son has been abroad for years and finally returns home, bringing with him stories of his adventures but also a scandalous and terrifying secret. When it comes to light, it unlocks a devastating moral thriller that will shake the family forever. Ghosts will keep you on the edge of your seat, gripping you and refusing to let go — all the way through its electrifying climax.

Ibsen is known for his scathing commentary on 19th-century morality. As with Hedda Gabler and A Doll’s House, he was acutely aware of how domesticity trapped women in impossible circumstances. Ghosts was equally revelatory for its time, which also meant it was loathed: subject matter included incest, euthanasia, and critiques of religion, leading to immediate controversy and negative criticism.

Nonetheless, the play, like Ibsen’s monumental career, endures. A damnation of puritanical societies, Ghosts aims to explore the dangers of repression and black and white schools of thinking. The play takes on fresh relevance in this exhilarating new production.

O’Rowe’s version played at the Abbey Theatre in 2023, earning four-star reviews from The Irish Times, Financial Times, The Stage, and Irish Mail. Now, the new adaptation hops across the pond. Prepare to be haunted by sin and secrets: tickets to Ghosts in New York will be available soon.
