The smash-hit production, which returns to the West End for a limited run this summer and has recently announced a Broadway transfer, will embark on a major UK and Ireland tour from September.
Based on the popular film franchise, Paranormal Activity has been adapted for the stage by immersive theatre pioneer and Punchdrunk’s Founder and Artistic Director, Felix Barrett and written by playwright Levi Holloway. The spine-chilling theatrical experience will star James Bye (2:22, UK Tour) as ‘James’, Hannah Sinclair Robinson (The Play That Goes Wrong, West End) as ‘Lou’, Jo Castleton (War Horse at the National Theatre, National and International Tour) as ‘Etheline Cotgrave’ and Caroline Faber (Network and The Heiress, National Theatre) as ‘Carolanne.’
Praised for its inventive storytelling and terrifying atmosphere, Paranormal Activity is a must-see event for thrill-seekers and theatre lovers alike. Following its original run at Leeds Playhouse and its first West End engagement, which saw the show play at the West End’s Ambassadors Theatre (read our review here) from Friday 5 December 2025 – Saturday 25 April 2026. The show returns to the same venue this summer, where it reopens on Tuesday 11 August and will run simultaneously with the tour, having just extended for the fourth time.
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.
Paranormal Activity will begin its tour at Richmond Theatre on 5 September 2026.
