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.
