Punchdrunk to stage new immersive show at the National Theatre

Punchdrunk will create Ghostlight, a new immersive production staged at the National Theatre next summer, running through to the autumn.

The project marks the 50th anniversary of the venue’s South Bank home.

The production is conceived and directed by Felix Barrett (who recently directed the widely praised Paranormal Activity), with curation by writer Lucy Kirkwood (The Children). 

The staging represents the latest collaboration between the National Theatre and Punchdrunk, who return to create a new work for the anniversary celebrations.

Further details regarding performance dates, venue configuration, cast members and tickets will be released by the venue at a later date.
