Having recently reopened for a second season in its West End home, the Ambassador’s Theatre, Paranormal Activity producers Melting Pot just announced that the nerve-shredding supernatural hit today extends for a fifth time through january 2nd.

The extension comes at an exciting time for the production as Paranormal Activity recently opened for a 20-week Broadway season at the August Wilson Theatre to stellar reviews following a US tour, and also opens a major UK and Ireland tour at London’s Richmond Theatre this week.

The masterclass in supernatural suspense stars Ty Fanning (Othello, Ethel Barrymore Theatre, opposite Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal) as ‘James’, Ami Okumura Jones (My Neighbour Totoro, Barbican; Hostage, the Netflix political drama) as ‘Lou’, Kirsty Bushell (BBC, Motherland; King Lear, Chichester Festival Theatre) 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… 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, whose pulse-pounding theatrical thriller Grey House chilled Broadway audiences.

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.

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 and Associate Director, Anna Marshall.
