About the Show

A chilling ghost story blurs fiction and reality in this headphone-immersive audio experience.

A Ghost in Your Ear is a spine-tingling new play where the boundary between fiction and reality unravels through immersive sound. As an actor steps into a recording booth to narrate a ghost story, you listen in through headphones—but not all the sounds you hear can be explained. Using cutting-edge binaural audio, the production places you inside the unsettling world of the tale, where the terror seems to draw closer with every word. From the creator of An Interrogation and in collaboration with sound artists Ben and Max Ringham, this nerve-shredding experience is designed to truly frighten—listener discretion advised.

“It’s expertly atmospheric – a masterclass in staging horror slickly – and fortunately, its trappings are enough to excuse the slightly naff and overly familiar story.”

“Whether or not you believe in ghosts, this should prove at the very least a decent work out for your adrenal gland.”

"Where so many subpar ghost stories struggle to tie up loose ends, writer and director Jamie Armitage brings everything to a pleasing completion without over-explaining the mechanics."
