Danny Robins returns to Oxford with Uncanny: I Know What I Saw following unprecedented popular demand

Following sell-out success last year, Oxford Playhouse is thrilled to welcome back Danny Robins as he presents the UK’s most popular live paranormal tour, Uncanny: I Know What I Saw.

Oxford audiences can delight in two nights of paranormal investigation, as the stage show adaptation of award-winning BBC Radio 4 podcast is performed live at The Playhouse on Sunday 14 and Monday 15 July 2024.

In 2023, Danny asked the questions – do ghosts exists? And if not, why do people see them? 25,000 people joined him in theatres across the country in a bid to try and find answers, turning the show into the biggest live investigation into the paranormal ever.

Returning to Oxford for a second year in a row, Uncanny is written and performed by Danny Robins, creator of the hugely successful podcasts and global hits, Uncanny, The Battersea Poltergeist and The Witch Farm, the BBC TV series Uncanny and the award-winning West End play 2:22 – A Ghost Story.

Danny Robins said:

“Whether you are a Team Sceptic or Team Believer, if you love ghost stories and want to try and make sense of these strange mysteries, we can promise you a fun, thought-provoking, scare-filled night out as we bring some intriguing cases, never featured on TV or the podcast to life. And if you saw the show in 2023, we can promise you some brand new evidence and new witnesses this time around!”

Director Sam Hodges said:

“With live podcast shows on the rise, what makes Tilted’s approach unique is creating shows that are inherently theatrical, playful and interactive, and, with the help of a brilliant design team, the extraordinary stories that Uncanny features offer a unique opportunity to do just that’.

Uncanny: I Know What I Saw is a truly remarkable experience, unlike any other stage show. It features chilling, real-life contemporary stories of supernatural encounters experienced by ordinary people in ordinary places, brought to life on stage with thrilling theatrical invention and using exquisite sound, projection and video design.

Well-known resident experts from Team Believer and Team Sceptic, parapsychologists Evelyn Hollow, Deborah Hyde, Ciaran O’Keeffe and Chris French join Danny to analyse and debate these strange, inexplicable, chilling events, with opportunities for audience members to interact and join the debate as well as sharing their own ghostly experiences.

Directed by Sam Hodges (Brown Girls Do It Too (Soho/UK tour) for Tilted, The Shadow Factory, Nuffield Southampton Theatres), Uncanny: I Know What I Saw is designed by internationally acclaimed Linbury prize winner Zoë Hurwitz with lighting designed by Elliot Griggs, sound design by Alex Braithwaite, video projection by Zakk Hein and illusions by Sam Lupton. The show is produced by Tilted, in association with Watford Palace Theatre.
