Paranormal Activity announces new West End cast

Paranormal Activity returns to the Ambassadors Theatre this summer with a new cast, announced today. The reimagined modern ghost story will begin performances on 11 August.

Starring in Paranormal Activity are Ty Fanning (Othello) as James and Ami Okumura Jones (My Neighbour Totoro, Hostage) as Lou, and Kirsty Bushell (Motherland, King Lear) as Etheline Cotgrave. Pippa Winslow also returns as Carolanne.

Praised for its eye-catching stagecraft, the supernatural production brings its inventive storytelling and terrifying atmosphere back to the West End as it follows couple James and Lou who have just moved from Chicago to London to escape their past. They soon discover that it’s not places that are haunted, but people.
