Dust on the mantle. The basement, off-limits. Returning home to settle their dying grandmother’s estate, Sloane spirals into a story they swore they’d never tell. Their husband unearths malevolent family secrets, and their best friend discovers there’s more to the creaky old house than meets the eye. The haunted house transforms into tragicomic depravity.
A bisexual spin on the Golden Age of Horror, this propulsive and spine-tingling new drama dares you to think twice about what may be lurking underneath your home that you’d rather stay buried.
After a haunting smash-hit run at the Edinburgh Fringe and three limited engagements in New York, IVORIES will get a second poltergeist in its London premiere at the Old Red Lion Theatre, 418 St John Street, London, EC1V 4NJ, 1 - 26 July, 2025.
Press night is Thursday 3 July at 7.30pm.
