GHOST STORIES To Open At Lyric Hammersmith On February 28th

A truly terrifying theatrical experience from The League of Gentlemen's master of the macabre, Jeremy Dyson, and Andy Nyman, co-creator and director of Derren Brown's television and stage shows and star of Dead Set and Severance, opens at the Lyric Hammersmith next month. 

Ghost Stories runs from 24 February to 3 April 2010.
