It Walks Around The House At Night
Chilling ghost story It Walks Around The House At Night embarks on a UK tour.
Spreading atmospheric horror across the country, chilling ghost story It Walks Around The House At Night, presented by the award-winning theatre company ThickSkin, embarks on a UK tour. Behind the hit shows Driftwood and How Not To Down, ThickSkin is recognised nationally for championing exceptional talent in the North West, with this latest production written by the talented Manchester-based playwright Tim Foley (Electric Rosary, Royal Exchange Theatre & Bruntwood Prize Winner; Driftwood, UK Tour; Doctor Who audio series, Big Finish Productions). Injected with dark humour throughout, It Walks Around The House At Night promises to terrify audiences with plenty of jumpscares, dark humour and spine-tingling twists.
George Naylor (Second Best, Riverside Studios; The Mousetrap, West End and UK Tour; Room 13, The Barn Theatre) plays Joe, an out-of-work actor, who in a state of desperation, takes on a job playing a ghost at an old countryside manor. Out of money and options, Joe mistakenly accepts a rich handsome stranger’s offer of an unusual yet well-paid gig during another dull shift at the bar. Expecting nothing more than a few cheap scares, Joe soon uncovers the nightmarish terrors roaming the haunted grounds at night. Joined by Oliver Baines (The House Party, Chichester Festival Theatre and Headlong; Frantic Assembly’s Othello, UK Tour; I Like The Way You Move, Theatre Peckham), as The Dancer, It Walks Around The House At Night delivers a ghost story brimming with jump scares and spine-tingling moments.
Directed by ThickSkin’s acclaimed Artistic Director Neil Bettles, the eerie atmosphere is created by Tony Award Winning sound designer Pete Malkin and Olivier Award Winning lighting designer Joshua Pharo.
