- **Event Description**: Following a sell-out UK tour, the award-winning ThickSkin present this chilling new play by Tim Foley (former Bruntwood Prize-winner).

When an out-of-work actor takes a job playing a ghost at an old countryside manor, he expects nothing more than a few cheap scares. But as night after night unfolds, the role begins to blur with reality — and something far more sinister starts to emerge.

Part ghost story, part psychological thriller, It Walks Around The House At Night draws audiences into a world of creeping dread, unexpected twists and dark humour. A haunted house story for a new era, brought to life through inventive staging, immersive sound and bold visual effects.

Unsettling, darkly comic and full of surprises, the stage is set… for terror.

ThickSkin, one of the UK’s most exciting touring companies, joins forces with Tim Foley (award-winning writer of Doctor Who audio dramas; Electric Rosary, Royal Exchange Theatre) to create this thrilling production. Directed by Neil Bettles (ThickSkin’s How Not To Drown, Disney’s Bedknobs & Broomsticks, Frantic Assembly’s The Unreturning), with sound design by Pete Malkin (Othello, National Theatre; The Encounter, Complicité – Tony Award winner) and lighting and video design by Joshua Pharo (Measure for Measure, RSC; Kenrex, The Other Palace).
