The brand-new play Afraid of The Dark, written by an anonymous writer, looks set to delve into audiences’ deepest darkest fears in a live spectacular show due to open on 2 September at the Charing Cross Theatre.
This new theatrical terror is set in 1950’s Hollywood, where a failing B-movie film studio is trying desperately to discover the next spine-chilling box office smash hit. When a mysterious stranger arrives at the studio, he plunges them into a nightmare world where the line between imagination and reality are terrifyingly blurred.
