About A Ghost In Your Ear
Get A Ghost in Your Ear tickets to see this four-star "proper scary gem" (Time Out London) make its New York debut. Written and directed by Tony Award nominee Jamie Armitage (SIX: The Musical), A Ghost in Your Ear plays at Audible’s Minetta Lane Theatre downtown. For audiences seeking a thrill and a novel experience, this is the play to see — don't miss A Ghost in Your Ear off Broadway.
In this one of a kind play, audiences experience "a truly terrifying headphone horror," per The Guardian. Emphasis on headphones: audiences wear sets during the show that feature binaural sound technology, placing everyone directly in a haunting world of sound. Tony-nominated duo Ben & Max Ringham (A Doll's House, Prima Facie) have designed that sound that augments the experience. In A Ghost in Your Ear, an actor arrives late to a last-minute recording session. There to read a spooky script alongside an engineer, he finds the evening's recording session does not go according to plan as horrors from the script slowly escape the page — and haunting the studio itself.
“There is something so special about the power of a spine-tingling communal experience," Armitage said in a statement. "So to be able to fuse my passion for horror with binaural audio technology in collaboration with the world-leading sound-designers Ben & Max Ringham was a real dream come true. We enjoyed the most special run of the show in London earlier this year, and I cannot wait to bring it over to New York to terrify the audiences there too. And given that the whole show is set in an audiobook recording studio, a collaboration with Audible felt like the most natural fit in the world."
Don't miss this “high-tech horror that gets under the skin" (The Financial Times). Tickets to A Ghost in Your Ear in New York are available now.

One of the best shows out there
It was inventive and entertaining
Lead actor's effort was clear but the play was actually dumb. The noose at the end made the audience laugh. Was not scary. I think the idea is good but it was a missed opportunity to really scare the audience.
