A stage adaptation of a hit horror film franchise is coming to the Theatre Royal Bath later this year.
Paranormal Activity will run from Tuesday, December 1, to Saturday, December 5, as part of its first major UK and Ireland tour.
The production features a new story inspired by the global film phenomenon and stars James Bye (EastEnders, 2:22 – A Ghost Story), Hannah Sinclair Robinson (The Play That Goes Wrong), Jo Castleton (War Horse), and Caroline Faber (Network).
Mr Bye returns to the Theatre Royal stage following recent performances in Death Comes to Pemberley (2025) and 2:22 – A Ghost Story (2026).
Directed by Felix Barrett, artistic director and founder of Punchdrunk, the show promises a "spine-chilling theatrical experience."
It is written by playwright Levi Holloway, whose pulse-pounding theatrical thriller Grey House chilled Broadway audiences.
The creative team includes set and costume designer Fly Davis, illusionist Chris Fisher, lighting designer Anna Watson, sound designer Gareth Fry, and video designer Luke Halls.
The tour began at the Richmond Theatre in September and will visit more than 30 venues, including Glasgow, York, Birmingham, Cardiff, and Dublin.
The production had its original run at Leeds Playhouse before moving to the Ambassadors Theatre in London’s West End, where it has since been extended for a fourth time.
The first Paranormal Activity film, released by Paramount Pictures in 2009, reimagined the found footage genre and grossing nearly $200 million worldwide.
It went on to become a multi-film franchise with seven feature-length instalments.
