The Haunting

Kentucky Shakespeare is bringing back its Halloween tradition with a US premiere production that promises genuine chills. This adaptation draws inspiration from Charles Dickens' most atmospheric works, weaving together the classic elements that made Victorian ghost stories so effective and eerie. Written by Hugh Janes, the play has already proven its ability to captivate audiences during a successful run in the UK, and now Louisville gets its chance to experience this gripping tale of terror firsthand. The production runs for about two and a half hours at Kentucky Shakespeare's Headquarters in historic Old Louisville. Tickets are $30, with multiple performance dates throughout October to choose from. This show works well for families who enjoy theatrical productions with some genuine suspense—though parents should consider whether younger children are comfortable with classic ghost story themes. For more information or to purchase tickets, you can visit the theater's website or call them directly.
