PARANORMAL ACTIVITY to return to the West End this summer
Following phenomenal demand, Melting Pot has confirmed that Paranormal Activity will return to its Ambassadors Theatre home this August after a brief hiatus, marking a third extension for the hit production.
Currently playing until 25 April, the nerve-shredding West End scare-fest returns to the capital from 8 August where the first booking period of its new season runs through until 3 October.
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.
Full casting is to be announced.
James and Lou move from Chicago to London to escape their past, but they soon discover that places aren’t haunted, people are… Inspired by the iconic, terrifying film series, Paranormal Activity is a new story live on stage.
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.
Paranormal Activity reimagines the modern ghost story with an unsettling intimacy only theatre can provide. Immersing audiences in an atmosphere of creeping dread, unseen forces, and psychological tension, Levi Holloway’s script offers a bold reinterpretation of the original, blending domestic horror with mind-bending theatricality. Felix Barrett, known for breaking boundaries between audience and performer, brings his signature visionary style to the production. With innovative staging and chilling soundscapes, Paranormal Activity invites audiences to witness the inexplicable up close—and feel the fear in real time.
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.
