Horror, Play

Keep telling yourself it's only a show...

Andy Nyman and Jeremy Dyson's worldwide cult phenomenon, in print for the first time.

Ghost Stories was first performed at the Liverpool Playhouse in February 2010 before transferring to the Lyric Hammersmith in London, and then to the Duke of York's Theatre in the West End where it played from June 2010 to July 2011. It returned to the West End in 2014, before touring Australia.

A film version was released in 2017, starring Andy Nyman, Paul Whitehouse, Alex Lawther and Martin Freeman.

This edition of the play is published alongside its return to the Lyric Hammersmith in 2019.

This collection of books featuring Jewish main characters is decidedly non-comprehensive. As we come across books that are described as having Jewish main characters, we add them to this database. The creators of the Jewish Genre Reading Challenge have not read all (or even most) of the books in this database. We have gathered information from many sources and not all may be accurate. Inclusion of a book in our database does not imply endorsement or approval. There is always the possibility that antisemitism may be present in a book, either written into a character's experience or through malicious or ignorant caricature or stereotypical portrayal of Jewish characters and culture. Please take care of yourselves as you read. 

PLEASE let us know if you encounter a book in this database that does not have a Jewish main character, if you have corrections or additions for a book's genre categories, or if you have any other concerns about the inclusion of a particular book in this database.
