Inspired by the hugely popular film series, Paranormal Activity, the play tells the brand new story of James and Lou, who try to escape their past by moving from Chicago to London.

However, the pair soon discover that "places aren’t haunted, people are..."

The original Paranormal Activity film was released in 2009 by Paramount Pictures.

Widely regarded as a "master class" in psychological horror, the film was a major success, grossing nearly $200 million at the box office worldwide and kicking off a blockbuster franchise.


he terrifying phenomenon that originated in cinema is now transitioning to the stage for theatre-goers.

Full casting for the production is still to be announced.
