NEWS: York Theatre Royal announces world Premiere of Jeremy Dyson & Andy Nyman’s The Psychic

York Theatre Royal has confirmed the world premiere of The Psychic will take place in the Spring, seeing Jeremy Dyson and Andy Nyman reuniting following the success of Ghost Stories.

Officially opening at the theatre on the 6th May, the production forms part of the York Theatre Royal’s list of produced and co-produced work on its main stage over the next year. The 2025 season includes their co-production with Wise Children of North by Northwest and Gary Oldman’s return to York Theatre Royal in Krapp’s Last Tape.

Popular TV psychic Sheila Gold loses a high-profile court case, which brands her a charlatan. It costs her not only her reputation, but a fortune in legal fees. When a wealthy couple ask Sheila to conduct a séance to attempt to make contact with their late child, Sheila senses an opportunity to bleed them for money. What follows makes her question everything she’s ever believed and leads her on a journey into the darkest corners of her life.

While further details about the show have yet to be announced, tickets will go on public sale from the 15th January at 1pm.

Talking about the news, creators Jeremy Dyson and Andy Nyman, said: “We are so thrilled to have the world premiere of our new play at York Theatre Royal and to be part of their exciting next chapter. We cannot wait to unleash The Psychic at this remarkable venue.”
