Do you believe in ghosts? Discover *The Enfield Haunting* - the shocking true story of an ordinary family that claimed to be haunted by a poltergeist. Book *Enfield Haunting* tickets on London Theatre today.

At first glance, 284 Green Street appears to be a typical council house in Enfield, North London. It’s a home where single mother Peggy Hodgson hopes to raise her children comfortably and securely. That is until two of her daughters witness some seemingly supernatural occurrences - strange sounds, disembodied voices, furniture moving of its own accord, and children levitating several feet above the ground. 

It’s one thing for a ghost to make its presence known in a remote old castle or gothic ruin. It’s quite another for a ghost to pray upon an ordinary London family like the Hodgsons. If it could happen to them, could it happen to you? 

Doctor Who’s Catherine Tate stars as Peggy Hodgson, the single mother trying to protect her children from the spirits that seem to be invading their house. Shameless star David Threlfall plays Maurice Grosse, a paranormal investigator convinced that the hauntings were genuine. 

This thrillingly scary new play by Paul Unwin follows first-hand accounts of the famous Enfield poltergeist from Guy Lyon Playfair, an actual ghost hunter on the scene at Green Street in 1978. Over afternoon tea, Playfair played his actual recordings from the alleged poltergeist for Unwin. 

What do you think might have happened? There’s only one way to find out. Book your tickets to *The Enfield Haunting* on London Theatre.


The Enfield Haunting LON LondonTheatre

Catherine Tate and David Threlfall lead a gripping psychological thriller, unraveling one of London's most perplexing hauntings. Discover the spine-tingling events that transpired in Enfield, a case that has confounded investigators and sent shivers down the city's spine for years. Find out more about *The Enfield Haunting* tickets on London Theatre.

*The Enfield Haunting* features Catherine Tate (*Doctor Who*) as Peggy Hodgson and David Threlfall (*Shameless*) as investigator Maurice Grosse. The play is largely inspired by a first-hand account of the events, told to playwright Paul Unwin by Grosse’s colleague and fellow ghost hunter Guy Lyon Playfair. He played some of his audio recordings from the investigation for Unwin over afternoon tea, who was mesmerised.

For eighteen months back in the late 1970s, neighbours, investigators, and journalists tried to decipher the mystery of the Enfield Poltergeist that was said to be haunting a home in North London. Some people became convinced that Peggy’s daughters, Janet and Margaret, were behind it all. While Janet supposedly admitted to deceiving journalists, she later retracted her statement; paranormal investigators were divided over whether or not they believed her. The true identity of the person (or spirit) behind the hauntings remains unknown to this day.

## What to watch for

- Catherine Tate is no stranger to the stage and won an Olivier Award for her performance as Beatrice in Shakespeare’s *Much Ado About Nothing* opposite her Doctor Who co-star, David Tennant. 
- David Threlfall is best known for his portrayal of Frank Gallagher in the British TV series *Shameless.* His performance earned him a BAFTA TV Award nomination for Best Actor.
- The infamous Enfield case has also inspired other retellings, including Sky Arts 2015 TV show *The Enfield Haunting* and the 2016 film *The Conjuring 2: The Enfield Case*.

Ambassadors Theatre - TodayTix

The Ambassadors Theatre opened in 1913. It was built as a companion to [St Martin’s Theatre](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatres/st-martins-theatre), with the intention of housing smaller productions in a more intimate venue. 

The inaugural play *Panthea* lasted just 15 nights. Early plays included *Deburau* starring Ivor Novello, and Eugene O'Neill's *The Emperor Jones.* [*The Mousetrap*](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/show/the-mousetrap)* premiered at the Ambassadors Theatre on 25 Nov. 1952, and later moved to St. Martin's Theatre in 1974.

Recent shows include a decade-long run of *Stomp,* as well as star-studded plays.

## Ambassadors Theatre Seating Information

The auditorium has two levels – Stalls and Dress Circle. It is an intimate theatre.

In the Stalls, the rake of the seating becomes obvious from Row E and is quite a sharp rake, but the last two rows are set lower than those in front. The overhang of the Dress Circle affects the view from Row M.

The Dress Circle is not affected by an overhang, but the legroom on this level is not ideal.

## Additional Information

Venue opens 1hr 30min before showtime.
Please arrive with plenty of time, latecomers will be admitted at a suitable point, which may be the interval.
