Harry Treadaway, Jessica Raine and Malcolm Storry have joined the previously announced Iain Glen and Lesley Sharp in a new West End production of Ibsen's Ghosts, to begin at the Duchess Theatre Feb. 11 prior to an official opening Feb. 23, for a limited run through May 15. Glen, who also directs, plays Pastor Manders, with Sharp as Mrs. Alving.

Treadaway, who will play Mrs Alving's son Oswald, made his London stage debut in the premiere of Mark Ravenhill's Over There at the Royal Court's Jerwood Theatre Downstairs earlier this year, opposite his twin brother Luke. He made his screen debut with Luke in the film "Brothers of the Head" (directed by Keith Fulton and Louis Pepe), and has since been seen in the films "The Disappeared" (directed by Jonny Kevorkian), "City of Ember" (directed by Gil Keenan), "Control" (directed by Anton Corbijn), "Afterlife" (alongside Sharp) and "Recovery" (directed by Anthony DeEmmony, opposite David Tennant). His television credits include "The Shooting of Thomas Hurndall" and "Cape Wrath" (both for Channel 4).

Raine, newly graduated from RADA, made her London stage debut in David Hare's Gethsamane, will play Regine.

Storry, most recently seen on the London stage in Life is A Dream at the Donmar Warehouse, will play Engstrand. Other recent stage credits include Oedipus, The Royal Hunt of the Sun and Cyrano de Bergerac (all at the National Theatre) and The Lord of the Rings (Theatre Royal Drury Lane).

Ghosts will be designed by Stephen Brimson Lewis, with lighting by Oliver Fenwick, sound and music by Richard Hammarton and associate direction by Amelia Sears. It is co-presented in the West End by Thelma Holt and Nica Burns.
