First UK tour for Paranormal Activity

EastEnders star James Bye (Martin Fowler for more than 10 years) stars in the first national tour of Paranormal Activity - which will also be an unusual choice of Christmas show at Leeds Playhouse from December 9-24.

The production, originally developed at the Playhouse in 2024, went on to enjoy a hit West End run and North American tour.

Other northern dates on a huge 30-venue tour stretching from September to next June, include York Grand Opera House (September 29-October 3); Lowry, Salford (November 17-21); Sheffield Lyceum (February 16-20, 2027); Bradford Alhambra (April 6-10); Newcastle Theatre Royal (April 13-17); Hull New Theatre (April 20-24), and Liverpool Empire (April 27-May 1).

Also in the cast are Hannah Sinclair Robinson (The Play That Goes Wrong, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time,); Jo Castleton (War Horse) and Caroline Faber (Network and The Heiress).
