I saw this last night, my first time seeing Ghosts. I’ve been going every year to the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse and have seen many wonderful productions and performances and this was as good as anything I’ve seen there. It’s a stunning production of an extraordinary piece and perfect for this space. The intimacy from the proximity to the actors only adds to the experience.
