Paranormal Activity is extending its run at the Ambassadors Theatre to 25 April 2026.
The play, directed by immersive theatre pioneer and Punchdrunk’s Founder and Artistic Director, Felix Barrett, and written by Levi Holloway, follows James and Lou, an American couple who move to London to escape their past, but they soon discover that places aren't haunted, people are.
Patrick Heusinger and Melissa James (Moulin Rouge! The Musical) reprise their roles from Leeds Playhouse as James and Lou alongside fellow Playhouse performers Pippa Winslow (Bonnie & Clyde, Garrick and Arts Theatre) as Carolanne and Jackie Morrison (An Inspector Calls, UK Tour) as Etheline Cotgrave. The West End company welcomes Cheyenne Dasri as Understudy Lou and Jake Solari as Understudy James.
The creative team also includes Fly Davis as Set and Costume Designer, Illusions by Chris Fisher, Anna Watson as Lighting Designer, Gareth Fry as Sound Designer, Video Design by Luke Halls, and Casting Direction by Stuart Burt CDG and Ginny Schiller CDG.
Hailed by critics in our review round-up as “Shockingly good” by TimeOut and a “Slick and scary show” (London Box Office), Paranormal Activity will test your nerves!
