ThickSkin’s chilling ghost story It Walks Around The House At Night will make its London premiere at Southwark Playhouse Borough this March following a sold out UK tour.
The production runs from Wednesday 4 March to Saturday 28 March 2026, with a press night on Monday 9 March.
Written by Manchester based playwright Tim Foley, the show blends horror, mystery and dark humour as it follows Joe, an out of work actor who accepts a peculiar job playing a ghost at a countryside manor. What begins as a seemingly simple gig soon spirals into a night filled with terrifying discoveries.
George Naylor stars as Joe, with Oliver Baines as The Dancer. Featuring the voice of Paul Hilton, the production promises atmospheric scares and unexpected twists.
Tim Foley said: “It Walks Around The House At Night will be strutting its stuff around the country, and I’m delighted it gets to kick off its shoes at Southwark Playhouse Borough. It’s a horror mystery with lots of twists and turns, so London audiences are in for a real treat!”
The production is directed by ThickSkin’s Artistic Director Neil Bettles, with sound design by Tony Award winner Pete Malkin and video and lighting design by Olivier Award winner Joshua Pharo.
Known for championing new talent, ThickSkin continues its commitment to bold, design driven theatre that fuses text, movement and visual storytelling.
It Walks Around The House At Night runs at Southwark Playhouse Borough, 77 85 Newington Causeway, London SE1 6BD. Tickets start from £28, with concessions and preview prices available.
