The Haunting of Susan A

If these walls could talk..

Are you ready to unravel the mystery of Susan A?

Join Kings Head Theatre’s Artistic Director Mark Ravenhill in his new play as he tells the stories of the living (and the dead) from the past 50 years.

Drawing on the traditions of the classic ghost story. The Haunting of Susan A explores the power of a haunted space and the power of true uncertainty as to what is and is not real…

After celebrating the King’s Head Theatre’s 50th year of being the first pub theatre in London, this compelling tale will unsettle and surprise. Warning: this is not for those who are easily frightened.
