Touring stage production inspired by the horror film series, with a found-footage narrative and stage illusions by Chris Fisher.
Paranormal Activity is at The Alexandra from 27 to 31 October, a stage production inspired by the horror film series of the same name. The films themselves have a bit of a legend attached: the first one grossed $194 million worldwide from a budget of just $15,000, and this is the stage version that followed.
It's an original story by Felix Barrett, founder and artistic director of Punchdrunk, and playwright Levi Holloway. It follows a couple, James and Lou, who move from Chicago to London to escape their past, only to find that places aren't haunted — people are. The whole thing is told as a live stage version of the films' found-footage style, with stage illusions by Chris Fisher, the man behind Derren Brown's stage shows. After a sell-out West End run, the production is now on its first-ever UK and Ireland tour.

It runs for two hours and twenty minutes including an interval, with matinees at 2.30pm on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday and evening performances at 7.30pm Tuesday through Saturday. Tickets start from £15.60, and there's a caution for anyone under 15 because of high tension and strong language.
