“A lesson in live, minimalist terror.” –Chicago Tribune “Truly scary. And it may be the year’s best staged production.” –Los Angeles Times “CLASSY…This really is excellent craft that ascends well into the artistic.” –Chicago Sun-Times “JAW-DROPPING…The production is beautifully crafted and a superbly-paced tale of terror.” –Chicago Theatre Review A New Story Live on Stage James and Lou move from Chicago to London to escape their past… An original story set in the world of the terrifying Paranormal Activity film franchise, this thrilling new play will haunt you long after the lights go out. We can’t say anything else. The North American Premiere production is written by Levi Holloway, whose Tony Award-nominated Grey House chilled Broadway audiences in 2023. Felix Barrett—pioneering founder and artistic director of the acclaimed Punchdrunk, whose immersive Sleep No More played more than 5,000 performances in a record-breaking 14-year run—directs.
