A dark, humorous and visually stunning production, Horror is the tale of a haunted house with some terrible secrets. Bringing the genre of horror to the stage, the show sees mime, acrobatics and mesmerising routines all included.

    Swedish choreographer Jakop Ahlbom brings his award-winning dance piece to the Peacock Theatre for a strictly limited season. Presented by the Jakop Ahlbom Company, Horror is the surreal homage to cinematic horror classics, reimagined through mesmerising dance.

    When a woman returns with two friends to her family home, she discovers the house is haunted be a tragic family incident. Nobody knows what has happened to her older sister, but a vengeful spirit makes itself known. Through a series of flashbacks, cruelty and crushed youth is revealed, as the woman is brutally forced to look at her past. Quickly, she discovers that the only possible way to survive is to confront the truth.
