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.

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.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Paranormal Activity
A hauntingly good stage adaptation
8 / 10
The Ambassadors Theatre’s intimate setting works well for this type of claustrophobic horror. Fly Davis’s two-storey set design of the couple’s home is realistic and intricately detailed. You can’t help but scan every corner for something lurking. The production opts for a slow-burn, with suspense building through prolonged silences and creeping shadows. Chris Fisher brings masterful illusion tricks that leave the audience audibly gasping. Their execution is expertly managed in conjunction with Anna Watson’s lighting design and Gareth Fry’s intense sound design, which heighten our sense of unease.
Punchdrunk’s reworking of the original horror film is a spook-a-thon mounted with devious technical finesse
8 / 10
Winslow is used in a particularly creepy way, as we begin to distrust everything we’re seeing. These tech-savvy ghosts are dab hands at controlling the TV feed and telephone. The experience depends heavily on Gareth Fry’s sound design, which creates a bed of unease with blaring shocks at the very top end of West End volume limits. The story works pretty well – but it’s essentially an engine to spring nasty surprises on the audience. In the best tradition of spooky theatre at this time of year, it sends you out huddling in your coat before you’ve even left the building.

London is a city built on ghosts. Romans, plague pits, abandoned Tube stations and the collective memory of audiences who still shudder about The Woman in Black. There’s even a theatre supposedly inhabited by a ghost dolphin called Flipper.
