GHOSTS

A house full of secrets, and an inescapable legacy. Ibsen’s Ghosts returns in a fierce, contemporary adaptation about truth, inheritance, and the cost of silence, set in 1980’s Ireland. 

Every family has ghosts.

In this powerful adaptation of Ghosts (1881), Thomas Kilroy reimagines Henrik Ibsen’s groundbreaking drama as a haunting excavation of family, legacy, and the devastating cost of silence. As a widow prepares to consecrate the memory of her late husband, their carefully constructed story of a respectable life begins to fracture. Long-buried truths surface, revealing how a father’s struggles are visited upon his children in a family terrified of the ghosts that surround them. In this searing portrait of moral reckoning, the forces of past and present collide, probing the fragile boundary between private truth and public reputation, between the authority of religion and the realities of human desire.
