'Paranormal Activity' to return to Ambassadors Theatre this summer

Paranormal Activity, which is currently playing at the Ambassadors Theatre until 25 April, tells the story of James and Lou who move from Chicago to London to begin a new life, but soon discover that people — as well as places — can be haunted.

Paranormal Activity will return to the Ambassadors Theatre this August, marking the play's third extension in the West End. It will follow 1536, which runs at the venue until 1 August.

The show, which is currently playing at the venue until 25 April, tells the story of James and Lou who move from Chicago to London to begin a new life, but soon discover that people — as well as places — can be haunted. And sometimes you can't outrun the past.

In a review for LondonTheatre.co.uk, our critic said: "You want extended blackouts! Loud noises! Blood! This stage version, premiered in 2024 in Leeds prior to various stints in the US, delivers the goods on that score and more in its tale of a young couple newly relocated from Chicago to London, who, on this evidence, have taken their inner demons with them."

Inspired by the horror film series, Paranormal Activity is directed by immersive theatre pioneer and Punchdrunk Founder and Artistic Director Felix Barrett, and written by playwright Levi Holloway. The rest of the creative team includes Fly Davis as Set and Costume Designer, Illusions by Chris Fisher, Anna Watson as Lighting Designer, Gareth Fry as Sound Designer, and Video Design by Luke Halls.

Full casting is yet to be announced.
