Written by acclaimed playwright Levi Holloway and directed by the visionary director behind Punchdrunk, Felix Barrett, the new production will head to the West End this winter.
Artwork for Paranormal Activity.
The critically acclaimed stage adaptation of the Paranormal Activity films will make its way to the West End's Ambassadors Theatre following its electrifying debut at Leeds Playhouse last summer.
Paranormal Activity reimagines the modern ghost story with an unsettling intimacy only theatre can provide. The production will immerse audiences in an atmosphere of creeping dread, unseen forces, and psychological tension.
Ahead of the West End transfer, Paranormal Activity will embark on a North American tour this autumn.
Director Felix Barrett says of the West End transfer: "I’m so thrilled that Paranormal will have a chance to ensnare and unnerve audiences in London later this year! From seeing the advertising campaign of the film twenty years ago, where you watched cinema audiences leap out of their chairs in horror, I have long wondered how you could recreate that visceral reaction in a theatre setting. How do you bring one of the most frightening films to life? How do you break the inherent safety that a plush West End theatre offers? It’s been an incredible challenge, and we cannot wait to see how London audiences respond!"
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.
Cast for the production will be revealed soon.
Paranormal Activity will begin performances at the Ambassadors Theatre from 5 December. It will follow The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which plays its final performance on 11 October.
