Full casting has been confirmed for Afraid of the Dark, which will have its World Premiere in London this autumn, playing at The Charing Cross Theatre from 2 September - 26 October, with a press night on Wednesday 11 September. Afraid of the Dark is a new brand of theatrical terror that paralyzes the audience with fear. Everyone is afraid of something. What scares you when the lights go out? Check out the cast below!

Charlie Anson will play 'Roger Maxwell' (a handsome and ambitious man whose charms have only gotten him so far), Rebecca Blackstone will play 'Sandra Callaghan' (smart, independent, and beautiful who has seen it all, especially when it comes to men ...and with a very dark secret), Julian Forsyth will play 'Dr Henry Charlier' (man of mystery), John Guerrasio will play 'Julius Bernstein' (an arrogant, pushy, demanding sonofabitch producer - think Louis B. Mayer) and Mark Rice-Oxley will play 'Herschell Blank' (nervy, offbeat and talented writer who is...stuck).

50's Hollywood, A failing B-movie producer and his team struggle to find the next terrifying blockbuster. A mysterious stranger appears - blurring the line between nightmare and reality while worming his way into their minds, exploiting their very worst fears......

Where does your nightmare begin?
