A Theatre503 and Theatre Royal Plymouth Co-Production
BILL: Are you angry?
TONY: No, I’m dead.
Bill is hoping for a reset after Tony. Retreating to his mum’s flat by the sea, he searches for a way to move on. Ice Cream. Karaoke. Ketamine. Nothing works. But when he forms a connection with a local barman, Tony’s ghost appears.
Boo! is a haunting and tender new play by Alistair Hall that asks what it means to hold on when letting go might be the only way to survive.
Running time: TBC
Age guidance: 16+

Rapid Write Response (RWR) is our short play initiative where you can meet and engage with early-career creatives, by mounting six 10-minute response pieces to Boo!. Over a 3 week period the plays are written, selected, cast, rehearsed and staged. By watching a preview performance between Thursday 14 – Saturday 16 January 2027, you can submit a response piece for RWR. Check out how to access discounted tickets for our Writer’s Nights below. You can find further information on RWR here.
Thursday 14 and Friday 15 January 2027 7.30pm DISCOUNTED PREVIEWS FOR WRITERS: A chance for writers to enjoy a discounted ticket and meet our literary department and the writer of the show. Those who attend previews are invited to take part in RWR. To unlock a £10 ticket, email boxoffice@theatre503.com to be digitally tagged as a writer. If you have previously been tagged as a writer, your ticket will automatically adjust to £10 on the final page of booking – you do not need a Promo Code. You can find further information on RWR here.
Saturday 23 January 2:30pm 2027 PAY WHAT YOU CHOOSE RELAXED PERFORMANCE: Our Pay What You Choose where tickets start from £10. For anyone who benefits from a more relaxed performance environment. House lights are left up with audience free to exit and reenter as required. Sound levels are reduced and any strobe / ‘flashing light’ effects will be omitted also. We also invite those with babes in arms to attend as opportunity for parents and/or guardians to enjoy a spot of theatre, at a reduced price, without the need to hire a babysitter.
