Casting announced for return of hit West End scare-fest PARANORMAL ACTIVITY
Following the recent announcement that Paranormal Activity is set to return to its West End home, the Ambassadors Theatre, this summer, casting has been announced for its fourth extension.
From 11 August, the masterclass in supernatural suspense will star Ty Fanning (Othello, Broadway) as James, Ami Okumura Jones (My Neighbour Totoro, Barbican) as Lou, Kirsty Bushell (Motherland, BBC) as Etheline Cotgrave, and welcomes the return of Pippa Winslow in her role as Carolanne following her celebrated runs in the Leeds Playhouse and first West End season.
Blurring the line between cinema and live theatre, Paranormal Activity has been hailed as a “relentlessly frightening – arm-clutchingly, stranger-embracingly so” (Metro) theatrical experience - leaving audiences jumping out of their seats and questioning what’s lurking in the dark long after the curtain falls.
James and Lou move from Chicago to London to escape their past, but they soon discover that places aren’t haunted, people are…
A new story inspired by the worldwide horror phenomenon, Paranormal Activity is directed by immersive theatre pioneer and Punchdrunk’s Founder and Artistic Director, Felix Barrett, and written by playwright Levi Holloway.
The creative team also includes set and costume designer Fly Davis, illusions designer Chris Fisher, lighting designer Anna Watson, sound designer Gareth Fry, video designer Luke Halls, and casting directors Stuart Burt CDG and Ginny Schiller CDG.
